Belief Prevails He 

Will Seek Seat 

In Congress 



Writing in tlie Boston Transcript, 
William F. FurbusJi states: 

Tlie possibility ttiat former Con- 
gressman Robert Luce of Waltham 
will attempt a come-back by seeking 
election to ills old seat from the Ninth 
district has upset the calouiations of 
party leaders and may cause a re- 
versal of plans by pro,3pective candl- ' him to give. 



beneficiary In large measure of the 
New Deal sentiment, now at a low 
ebb In this State, It straw balloting Is 
a true criterion. 

The Weeks camp, however, reports 
assurances of senatorial support from 
Important sections of the State have 
been such that. If he determines to 
remain In public office, only the Sen- 
ate seat would appeal to him. He 
would not consider running for the 
lower branch of the Congress, It is 
declared. 

It has been suggested la some of 
the Weekd conferences that from o 
party point of view, Weeks might 
Jeopardize organization unity and 
hopes of Republican success by run- 
ning for the Senate nomination, in 
that he and Speaker Leverett Salton- 
st«H, candidate for the gubernatorial 
nomination, both reside In Newton. 
This fact, it has been argued, would 
raise the criticism of having a cen- 
1 trallzatlon of candidates for major of- 
I' flees In one city or section of the 
I Satte at a time when the necessity of 
I a geographically and racially bal- 
! anced ticket is emphasized. \ 

'. The puiiit is udvuiioecl by many of 
Saltonstall's followers, supplemented 
• by the contention that, having been 
[ an avowed and active candidate for 
! so long, Saltonstall could reasonably 
insist that he is not the man to with- 
draw. 

I Should Week.'s decide not to be a 
I candidate, it Is conceivable that his 
decision would be Influenced In great 
degree by a desire not to detract from 
Saltonstall's strength and also by an 
Inclination to abide by wishes of his 
family that he give It more time than 
further public service would permit

dates for other oRlcep. 

There has been no public Indication j 
by Luce of his plans but there is a , 
well-substantiated understandinrr ' 



With Weeks deflnltely in the Senate 
race, or out of the political picture. 
Representative Philip O. Bowker of 
Brookllne may be expected to run for 
the nomination for Congress, with re- 
newed verbal assurances recently 
from leaders of the Weeks organiza- 
tion of that group's backing. The 
candidacy of Luce, if the latter elects 



I among those watching the political 
weathervane that, if ho abides by his 
present inclination, he will announce 

I his candidacy for the R.opubllcan 
nomination for the position he yield- 
ed in the 1934 election to Congress- 1 to run, will not, according to present 
man-Mayor Richard M. Russell of . indications, change Bowker's plan.5 
Cambridge. i and on the assumption that Weeks 

Since Luce's defeat two years ago, ' 'wlU not consider running for the 
after sixteen years of service In the i Congress seat Bowker is continuing 
national House where ho won di.,- ! vrtth his organization work, concen- 



tlnotlon as one of the country's out 
standingly able and scholarly con- ; 
gressmeu, doubt has been generally [ 
expressed whether he again would ■ 
essay an election battle. i 

The setback interrupted what Luce's . 
backers and admirers figured wa.i his ' 
certain progress Into the United i 
States Senate, and it is conceivable 



tratins at present in Waltham, Luce's 
home city. 

The Luce development has raised 
speculation whether it will have any 
likely bearing on Mayor Russell's 
plans. Retiring as mayor of Cam- 
bridge, Russell is expected to an- 
nounce his candidacy for the Demo- 
cratic nomination for governor Rt a 



that the ambition to repair his leg- i testimonial dinner to be given him 
illative fences, at least to the extent l tonight at the Hotel Continental, 
of rounding out twenty yeans in the ; Such an announcement, some poll 



Congress, may be a determiiUng fac- 
tor In any consideration he is giving I 
to his future public activities. 

Discussion of Luce's possible candi- 
dacy has raised speculation as to any 
eflect It would have on the plans of 
Mayor Sinclar Weeks of Newton, 
whose anticipated announcement of 
his candidacy for Republican nomlna- 



ticlans had reasoned, might be at- 
tributed to the fact that Russell 
Eonsed an uphill flght Tor re-election 
to Congress in the formerly strong 
Republican district, and decided to 
gamble with the gubernatorial chanc- 
es. With Luce, the man he defeated 
by nearly 5000 votes two years ago, 
appearing as a possible contender. 



tlon for the United States Senate has these same politicians speculate, Rub 



been deferred .'io long as to raise 
doubt whether he will enter the con- 
test. 

Representative Henry Cabot Lodge, 
Jr., of Beverly, and former State Sen- 



.".ell may decide to run for Congress 
again. 

There is unconfirmed gossip that If 
Russell gets into the gubernatorial 
race It will be on the suggestion of 



ator James F. Cavanagh have long Jame3 Roosevelt, son of the President, 
been active candidates for this nom- i "ho may be planning a return to his 
Inatlon and their progress, especially \ former political activity in the Bay 
that of Lodge, has made Werks sup- , State, 
porters impatient to get started. i This report at once gave rise to 

There have been several conferences Zl^^'lhl^SLZ^/^^?' ^'°"?^ Roosevelt 
among Weeks and party leaders in the has "bandowd his previously warm 



last ten days and the indications are 
now that Weeks will announce on 
Monday or Tuesday whether he will 
run or not. 

There have been several party lend- 
ers Who have advised Weeks that his 
beat strategy, In what has been un- 
derstood to be his ambition to follow 
in the footsteps of his father, the late 



support of Governor James M. Curiay, 
who. although he-haa- iWcTlired his 
candidacy for the Senate, has not 
convinced all Democrats and Republi- 
cans that the governorship does not 
have a sti-onger appeal. 

There is the further report that 
Russell, while striking for the gov- 
ernorship, might be content with the 



Senator John W. Weeks, woilld be to i ho"i'h»tlon for lieutenant governor, 
make his flght for the Ninth Congress I ^ ,^ young Roosevelt pulling the 
seat, which Russell captured as a li f rings at the pre-rrlmary convention

Hpnry Pe l-.m.iu, Jr., is a state sen- 
ator from the "I'hlrd Suffolk District, 
made up of ^ome wards in Boston 
and Cambridge. He is now in his i 
fourth term. He is 41 years old. plus, i 
and has eight feet, two In his shoes, j 
End six plus in his height. Ke wasi 
born in Boston. He studied at Noble 
& Greenough's, in the days before 
John Richardson became its directing I 
business head. He was graduated | 
from St. Mark's school, before hJs ' 
brother, Francis Parkman, became its 
headmaster. Henry is an early bird. 
He took an A. B. and an M, C. L. 
at Harvard In 1915 and nn A. M. 
in lalo. He stiidieu two yeaia at the 
Harvard Law school, 

In the Great War he was caot-i.H 
of Infantry overseas, a real soldier. 
; He was four years in the Boston city 
I council, which called for more tour- 
age than when he met the Hun, It 
Is not unlikely that ho may become 
a candidate, either for senator, gov- 
ernor or lieutenant-governor. "Vistas i 
of Btate.^manshlp welcome him," I be- ' 
Have, as the Lodge-Harvard detjree I 
read, this from suspicious hands. Har- 1 
vard was not long on Lodge, 



Those dopesters who hang over the 
political rail, and the ladles with 
their lorgnettes who fasten their fire 
upon political entries, cannot safely 
Ignore this possible entry from the 
Parkman stables. Mr. Parkman is one 
of the two most forceful men In 
state politics. Like ail of this sort, 
he has often been a target for the 
fire of the enemy, particularly from 
the mouth of the late Baron Billings- 
givt;, nee Richard Grant, v/hose voice 
has now become silent in the .service 
of the State. The late Charles W. 
Barron, whose news-.'shect once mis- 
took me for a doormat, said at one 
time: "Cheer up, Washburn, we are 
doing you a service." It la a sign 
you are getting great." So the fact 
that Baron Billingsgate, with his un- 
flltered diction, concentrated hla Are 
more upon Mr. Parkman than upon 
anyone else, i's a sure f:ign that Mr. 
Parkman, is foremost among fighting 
Republicans, for a hymn of hate. ] 

So watch Parkm,".,!. Pew men have I 
performed more signal service to their 1 
party. He was president of , the Re- 
publican club. He was a leader In 
the Eissex county .Ight which elected I 
Mr. MoSv;eeney to the Senate. In 
1928, he went out successfully, as a 
David ag.nm.it that putative political 
Goliath, the Puritan, Innes. He 
showed Charlie that he was more of 
a myth than a monarch. He licked 
him as a delegate for the National 
convention. when the timid said 
there would not be enough loft of, 
Parkman to fill one basket. Mr. Innes | 
was then the leader of a diveri?e army 
of saints and sinners. Including in ( 
its number not only a church warden I 
and a retired "little cabinet" officer, 
, but also even those outcasts who 
, i smoke cigai'ette.-,. So watch Parkman, 
ij!n whom, as too seldom, high civic 
purpo.se, capacity and couraee walk 



- (\.VVWtA^- Ci.. 



as handmaidens. He has a pep, a 
power and a punch that appe.il. And 
In his amenities he has a courtesy 
and a consideration for other.j that I 
have seldom seen equalled, and which 
loom on the path* of politics, where 
barnyard fowl abound. 



True, th.it Mr. Pnrkman Is In a way 
a factional f^gur;. He ha.'-> hU fever- 
ish foec, as he ha.t hl.t fnnatl-: friends. 
as can be raid of all such men ns 
he. No one In ap.-.thet!c as to him. 
When his name Is mentioned, some 
send him flower-- and others crawl 
out onto the ;ire e.sc;'.pe. All this c.in 
be said without reflection upon Mr. 
Parkman, for It wts said of T R . th3

In other ways He 1» a successful 
platform performer. Should he go 
Into a ft?ht for any of the oltlcis

~ Governor Curley's Manly Stand 



The sum of one billion dollars was due 
from our European war debtors on De- 
cember IS. It is still due. And Europe's 
faith in Uncle Sam as Santa Claus gone 
crazy remains unimpaired. 

Those debtors, by reason of their prac- 
tised dishonesty and the supine attitude of 
those whose duty it is to make them pay, 
are firmly of the belief that they can go on 
defaulting until the American people lose 
all hope of retrieving any of the vast 
amount of hard cash lent by their Govern- 
ment to the transatlantic champions of 
democracy. 

Something must be done, and done im- 
mediately, to strike the fear of American 
might into the hearts of those who have 
so abused American patience and national 
self-respect. 

Governor James M. Curley of Massa- 
chusetts, in an address delivered on De- 
cember 20, uttered virile American senti- 
ments which our Secretary of State at 
Washington would do well to heed. An 
Associated Press dispatch from Plymouth, 
Mass., informs us: 

"An air force twice that of any other 
nation, stoppage of imports from all coun- 
tries in default on war debts, and freedom 
from foreign alliances, were urged last 
night by Governor Curley. 

"The Massachusetts Executive, candi- 
date for the Democratic United States 
Senatorial nomination, told Pilgrim de- 
scendants the shutting off of goods from 
defaulting war debt nations would mean 
re-employment in this country of 3,000,000 
persons 'almost at once. 

These are words worthy of a Governor 

of Massachusetts. They represent the real 

spirit of America, the spirit that will not 

i be browbeaten or cajoled by Old World 



statecraft. It is words such as Governor 
Curley's, and not servile platitudes, which 
will bring results in our dealings with our 
dishonest debtors. 

We need more, a great deal more, of the 
Governor Curley spirit in our State De- 
partment at Washington. 

Our Secretary of State loudly proclaims 
to Japan that she must respect her treaty 
obligations to all nations in her dealings 
with China. The sanctity of international 
agreements is one of the primary requi- 
sites of honest and amicable dealings be- 
tween the nations of the world. 

Our defaulting debtors entered into 
solemn engagements to pay their debts to 
this Government. They have bent all their 
energies to the task of defrauding the Am- 
erican people out of those debts. 

In face of this flagrant exhibition of bad 
faith our State Department, while preach- 
ing the sanctity of treaties, is doing noth- 
ing to insure that the United States Treas- 
ury shall be repaid the sums which our 
European debtors pledged themselves to 

pay. 

American patience is exhausted in this 
matter. Action swift and stern is called 

for. 

Far from feeling grateful for our for- 
bearance, our debtors hold us in the utmost 
contempt. 

Let us cease our concern over the af- 
fairs of the Old World. Let us cease try- 
ing to promote peace among those who 
would not accept peace even though we 
handed over to them all the resources of 
this Republic. 

Let us have a maximum of the Curley 
spirit and an utter abhorrence of that ser- 
vility which has cost us too much in golden 
dollars and in national prestige.

.The Legislature Back Again 

I Let us hope for the best from the 
Legislature. This week will find it 
back again on Beacon hill, although 
its last prorogation did not come 
until August. A too short recess, 
or respite, as you may prefer to call 
it. 

The last session was trying. As \ 
it is the same Legislature, with the "_ 
same membership, the coming ses- . 
sion may be no less trying. Biennial j 
sessions just now look attractive. 
The champions of annual sessions 
may well feai- a session similar to 
the last one. But let us hope for 
the best, in spite of the vicious 
state lottery bills, "nut" taxation 
and pension schemes and inter- 
mittent Dorgan showers that must 
be anticipated. 

That this session, too, will be 
prolonged into midsummer is not 
improbable in view of the absence 
I of responsible, effective majorities 
I in each branch and the growing an- 
I tagonism between Gov Curley and 
the political opposition~^ an elec- 
tion year. 
j The governor's influence in the 
' Legislature is stronger and bettei 
consolidated than it was a year ago. 
His control of the executive coun- 
cil is now apparently complete. Yet 
happenings since the first session 
of the 149th General Court have 
weakened him with the independent 
voters of the state. 

The Legislature need not be 
cowed by the executive. It has 
duties to perform, especially with 
respect to the state finances. All 
this, too, without partisan or malig- 
nant prejudice against the govern- 
or, who will deserve support when 
he is right. 



Executive Controversies 

A controversy between Frank A. 
Goodwin and the state executive 
will find the public largely apathet- 
ic. Mr Goodwin has had arguments 
with governors before, and has been 
removed from public offices before. 
He is supposed to have a full-time 
job as the state's registrar of motor 
vehicles. If he is devoting his at- 
tention to other matters to the neg- 



lect of his duties, or if he is creat- 
ing serious embarrassment by par- 
ticipating without warrant in local 
labor quarrels, the governor may be 
justified in threatening his removal. 
On the political side, the governor 
perhaps believes that it is safe to 
ignore the Goodwin influence. 

The governor's controversies of 
the week have not been limited to 
his remonstrances with Mr Good- 
f win. He has been prosecuting his 
quarrel with the Massachusetts 
headquarters of the Works Progress 
administration. In a letter to Mr 
Hopkins, the federal administrator, 
Gov Curley charges the Massachu- 
setts office, of which Mr Rotch is 
head, with "inefficiency and incom- 
'petence. " Gov Curley goes some- 
what afield, however, for he talks 
about inability to provide a Christ- 
mas dinner on WPA wages. 

The drive of Gov Curley and 
Democratic politicians against Mr 
Rotch is gathering force and dar- 
ing. Massachusetts people, regard- 
less of party, will expect official 
Washington to uphold Mr Rotch. 
The opposition to him is obviously 
jn effort to obtain jobs for Demo- 
crats. The demand for weekly 
rather than biweekly payment of 
WPA workers is doubtless legiti- 
mate, but that lii a technical matter 
capable of routine adjustment if 
WPA rules permit.

Two Jobs or One? 

The cynical brand of politics that 
governs on Beacon hill is illustrated 
in Senator Conroy's scheme to sit 
as senator from Fall River in the 
coming session of the Legislature 
and at the same time hold his posi- 
tion as a member of the industrial 
accident board. The attorney-gen- 
eral says that Mr Conroy's accept- 
ance of leave of absence from the 
industrial accident board does not 
create a vacancy. This, of course, 
is technically true, but it happens 
that the law requires all members 
of the board to "devote their whole 
'time in business hours to the work 
'of the board." Service in the Leg- 
islature is not theoretically an occu- 
pation, yet it does consume business 
hours of the normal working day. 

If any good object were to be at- 
tained by Mr Conroy's proposed dual 
service, the irregularities might 
perhaps be overlooked. But the only 
purpose is to keep in the Senate a 
strong supporter of G ov Curle y and 
at the same time allow him to enjoy 

$6000 salary as member of the 



; Uccident board. Even this requires 
t vasion of law, for it is prottdea 
■ n the statutes that no person can 
lawfully receive two salaries uom 
the commonwealth at the same time. 
Whether or not a legislator can 
legally refuse to take a second sal- 
ary, such a practice violates the in- 
tention of the law. 

Mr Conroy should resign his seat 
in the state Senate if he wishes tfl 
hold the more lucrative office. Is it 
to be inferred that Gov Curley does 
not want a special election in the 
"-11 t>;rr„r district?

of youth. This io ,u- .= .-.. . ^^^"^^ of the revolt 



We are making no pica for the Townsend 
plan or for any plan of social security or polit- 
ical security; but we see in this rising tide of 
strange and startling economic revolution some- 
thing so new, something i)sychologically so sig- 
nificant, that we believe it will play a consider- 
able part either in the preliminaries to the two 
national conventions, or in the subsequent cam- 
paign, or perhaps in both. 

And the reason for this, we believe, is not to 
be simply and easily interpreted in dollars and 
cents, largess, easy money, but is anchored in 
the far more compelling and far more difficult 
thought of a revolt of age against long repres- 
sion. These programs put age to the front as a 
political "force. That is something new. 

A Platform Problem 

That the national leaders of the two major 
parties are worried by the outlook ia patent. 
Dispatches from Washington— the straight news 
dispatches of The Associated Press, for exam- 
ple — give liberal consideration to this practical 
problem, and face the fear of a third party 
espousing the Townsend plan unless one or the 
other or both of the major parties shall incor- 
porate Townsend's ideas, or a satisfying approx- 
imation thereto, in the party platform; or unless 
one or the other of the major candidates for 
President tie himself to this cause. 

So far no potential candidate for President 
has taken any such plunge, and we find none 
likely to do so; yet the party leaders are wor- 
ried, particularly since the election in Michigan 
wherein the Republican candidate assertively 
and continuously shouted his support of Town- 
send's ideas, and was triumphantly elected. 

There were votes in the Townsend plan in 
that part of Michigan. Are there enough votes 
in it, across the country, to make it a potent 
factor in the election of a President next year? 

No one knows the answer to that question, but! 
it has the leaders lying awake nights in 
worriment. ; 

Dr. Townsend himself, in Washington a fort- , 
night ago, asserted that "the next President" j 
would be a supporter of his ideas; and he said 
tnat his group were "notifying senators and rep- 
resentatives that the only way they can be elect- 
ed is by supporting us." 

We may discount heavily such statements, 
for they are always made by every proponent 
of a plan; nevertheless, there is the Michigan 
result; and there is the spread of Townsend 
clubs, and there is the latent mass vote of men 
and women nearing or past the age of proposed 
Townsend plan recipients. 

There is another thought associated with this 
curious phenomenon, and it deserves some con- 
sideration. However fantastic the Townsend 
plan appears to conservative and prosaic econ- 
omists and plain-figuring people, we might as 
well recognize the fact that it is no more than 
an extra growth on a strangely distorted eco- 
nomic tree beneath whose shade most of current 
political and popular thought is assembled or is 
assembling. 



Always for More Money 

For example, here is Massachusetts, with its 
people carrying a burden of taxes increasingly 
heavy and increasingly difficult to support:; 
Straight in the face of the psychological situa-' 
tion engendered by these simple facts, a state | 
commission reports a plan to raise seventeen 
million dollars additional — from people who find 
it difficult to pay existing taxes. ; 

To be sure, the earnest and sincere effort of 
those who make the report is to transfer some 
share of the burden now disproportionately 
weighing upon real estate, to other shoulders;; 
but what the general public sees is not any such 
easement or relief, but an increased total weight 
of taxation. And, it may be argued, however; 
reasonable and precise such recommendations 
for new tax resources may be, there is something I 
perhaps twisted in an approach to a situation 
characterized by unrest among the taxed, which 
is marked by a purpose to obtain more from I 
them. I 

In other words, the majority of all the plans j 
to meet our public financial problems emphasize; 
devices to get more money, instead of devising 
ways to spend less. Our public agencies — state ' 
and national government, and in many cases! 
(nunicipalities as well — are bent on courses; 
which no private business and no ordinary | 
human household could undertake without in- > 
curring bankruptcy or utter poverty. ) 

Take the situation here on Beacon Hill in | 
relation to gambling. We are not considering; 
any moral aspects involved, but take note sim- j 
ply of the fact as a fact, that whereas a few ' 
years ago it would have been unthinkable to I 
legalize betting on horse races, our pari-mutuol I 
law was enacted with little difficulty — and to 
take in not only the ancient sport of horse races, 
but dogs as well. 

Moreover, lately there has been organized in 
this state the "Massachusetts Council for Legal- 
izing Lotteries," and this organization is spon- 
sored by women, described as "a group of prom- 
inent women." Its announced purpose is to "le- 
galize lotteries as a direct relief to real-estate 
taxation, and also to aid worthy welfare organ- 
izations now caring for the needy of our 
Commonwealth." 

Fantastic Background 

Again, witli any moral aspects of this pro- 
posal we have here nothing to do; but we offer 
it as another exhibit in the fantastic and insane. 
treatment of pressing economic problem.?. 

Against such a background— and we have 
cited only a minute portion of the available; 
material— is it any wonder that there can be' 
found many thousands, perhaps millions, of ordi- 
nary folks Who will swallow the program of the 
kind-faced Dr. Townsend? 

We have given so much space to this curious, 
manifestation of strange economics, however, 
not in the futile effort to debate that subject, but 
to point to the perils that beset the Republican 
and Democratic parties on the eve of their 
national conventions and presidential campaigns. 
It is befuddling the strategists who are trying 
to concentrate on a candidate— in the Repub- 
lican party— whn pos.sibly can win. On the 



/ 



Democratic side Mr. iioosevelt is candidate, plat- 
form and party. The Republican case is 
different. 

The Townsend plan is a factor behind the 
curious and in some respects humorous support 
for Mr. Borah's nomination; not that Senator 
Borah is at all likely to embrace .the Townsend 
plan, but because there is an undefined and un- 
definable feeling among some of the Republican 
party leaders that they must lean as far as they 
possibly can lowards what they understand to be 
liberalism; and they profess to see in Mr. Borah 
a con.sidorable degree of this neccs.sary quality, 
buttressed by personal integrity and sincerity,' 
plus a great forcefulness of personality. 

This Borah strength has the element of hu- 
mor not from any lack of seriousness and sin- 
cerity in the man himself, but in the strange and 
Illogical enthusiasm for his nomination among 
those who hate many of hLs ideas, and distrust 
his pohtical stability. 

Hamilton Fish and Borah 

Hamilton Fish sounds the drums in Mr 
Borah's behalf; yet the two men do not march 
easily side by side down the long avenue of pol-l 
itics. In New York state there can be Uttle nat- ' 
ural or automatic Borah support; yet it is con- 
sidered feasible to make a test of his strength 
there, and to seek a delegation pledged to his 
rre! nomination. 

Meantime, Mr. Borah is said to be for "refla- 
B(-tion' rathei than inflation. '•'Reflation" is in no 
^^^^^^-liclionary; but for that matter, neither is Boi h.

Employer Only Will Contribute to Bay State 

Unemployment Insurance in! 36; Entire 

Program is Diagnosed 

By RALPH COOLIDGE MULLIGAN 

Telpgram WashinKton Correspondent 

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. The proudest achievement of the 
^New Deal to date in tlie realm of the long range future, is the 
combination of federal old age benefits, state old age pensions, 
imcmployment insurance, and federal grants for child welfare, 
maternity aid and public health, provided for in the monumental 
bill enacted by Congress at the last session and pleasingly titled 
the "Social Security Act." 

It is much too soon to count the*— -p,:^^ wemplovment insurance

then the employer is allowed to de- 
duct from the amount of the tax he 
owes the federal government what- 
ever ho has ^leen required to pay to 
the state plan. There i.», howeyer, 
a requirement thAt this deduct on 
shall not exceed 90 per cent of the 
federal tax. 

For example; An employer at the 
end of the vear find.', that his fed- 
eral tax totals ten thousand dollars. 
He finds that ho has paid into the 
state insurance fund six thousand 
dollars. He subtracts one fiom the 
othev and pavs Unolo. Sam four 
thou.sand dollars. But suppose his 
payments to the state fund have to- 
taled twelve thousand do:-ars then 
he must still send one thousand 
dollars to Washington, since he 
i can deduct onl;, 9^ per rent of his 
federnl tax nine thousand dollars 
'i from ten thousand dollars. 
I The federal payroll tax on ac- 
I count of unemploy.nienl compensa- 
lion \,iiich begins to apply on the 
I lh--t of January, is 1 per cent of 
ir- payroll in 19.36, 2 per cent of 
: liis payroll in 1937. and 3 per cent 
I Iheiea'ftcr. This federal lax may 
I not b<- suhtrarted by the employ- 
er from the wages that he pays hi« 
' employes. So far as th» federM 
I government is concerned there is 
no tax or contribution from the 
employes on account of unemploy- 
I ment insurance. Employers subject 
to the federal tax are those who 
have "eight or more individuals 
employed on each of some 20 days 
in the year, each day being in a 
different calendar week." 

"Until Two Years .\tiex" 

There is another provision of a 
Social Security Act, as it relates to 
unemployment, compensation of 
high current importance to the 
employe. It is the stipulation that 
state unemployment compensation 
laws shall not authorize the pay- 
ment of compensation "until after 
two years after contributions are 
first required." 

The taxe.'i to support the federal 

old age reliremeni plan do not , 

start until 1937. The tax is as- 

I ses.sed on wages not in excess of 

i .$.3000 annually. The tax is two- 

; fold. The employer is. required to 

pay a lax computed on tl;^ wages 

' he pays, the employe is required to 

pa.v a tax on the wages he re- 

i , ceiyes. 

With respect to each, the tax Is 
at the rate of 1 per cent in 1937, 
1938 and 19.39. 

It is 1 t-i per cent for the suc- 
ceeding three years, 2 per cent for 
the next three years, 2'i per cent 
from the foui'th three-year period 
and beginning in 1949 is 3 per cent 
from employer and the same from 
the employe.

To qualify for the icceipt of fed-

must be at least 65 years of age; 
must have leceivpd not less than 
$2000 in total wa^ps after Dec. 1, 
1936. and befoip hrp of 65, and 
must have hpen paid wages on some 
day in each of five years bPRinning 
in 1937, and before "the age of 65. 

The minimum monthly benefit is 
♦ 10; the maximum monihly benefit 
$85. The actual monthly benefit 
in the ca.';p of pach eligible bene- 
ficiary is determined by taking the 
, total amount of wases he hai i e-

sting up their plans. From the 
standpoint of the New Dealers in

I would be $27 .'lO. and if for 40 years

The method of collecting federal 
old-age pension payroll taxes, which 
start a year hence, has not yet 
been determined. It is likely to"be 
done by stamp or coupon method, 
sold by the post offices. 

Another type of old age pen- 
sion is piovided for in the Social ' 
Security Act; this is the so-called 
thirty dollais a month plan, which 
may bp paid to all pprsons over

plan and the payment of this pen- 
I uion is up to the states and it ii ■ 
depended upon state action. It Is ' 
I entirely sepaiatp and distinct'

would look like bloated pride of the 
local Board of Trade. These visi;.s 
didn't sppm like those of a party

easily. He bestowed commenda- 
tion for party work in a manne: 
that imparted sinceritv. As a pep- 
per-upper, he never kicked out a 
window, stamped in a floor or tore 
out a skylight. He talked like one 
neighbor to another and was heard 
and headed. The results speak. 

Now in the ordinar.v routine 
of npighhorinc all these things 
which Mr. .Marr has done rate 
reaionahly high, and might 
ordinaril.\ be considered as 
ranking .\ In efTort and result. 
But In the ciise ef Mr. Marr

forth the degree „f neighbor- 
ing which he has bestowed, 
with the deft tnuch of a na- 
tural genius, upon a goodly 
proportion of thi> state's popii- 
lation. If would be a rank in- 
justice to .Mr. Marr t.. drop the 
matter with the mere asser- 
tion that he has talked in a 
nnghborlj manner tn a lot of 
people. 

Brother Marr is not a watch 
Tumbler. Once he arrives at a ban- 
quet, an outing or a business meet- 
ing of a Republican organization, 
he settles down and acts as If he 
liked It . and he does. If the ban- 
quet is to be followed by bowling 
the head and quarter pin will re- 
ceive brutal treatment f,om Mr. 
Marr. Golf, baseball, races-pota- 
to or sack at an outing and the 
indefatigable chairman will not be 
du'tinguishable from the party 
rank and file. ^ ^ 



It is all an evempUficatlnn of 
the neighborly spirit, unre^ 
strained ami fully aplied. Some 
.voung and lust,\ gentleman of 
the Rppiihli.an party held a 
meeting, followed b> a howl-

hesitantly in\lted Mr. Marr.

In s .spirit of true neighborliness \ 
^ he has played on teams of th« i 
married men and teams of the sin- ' 
gle men at party outings. Some- 
times he has played on both sides 
in the same game He has scut- 
'led up and down a lire of pota-

Mr, Marr and the clam, or

long it isn't of consequence at 
the moment. To get on with 
neighboring, the kind that Mr. 
Marr goes in for becomes a 
matter of ffeograph.v, a lot of 
geography on many occasions. 
It may mean a drop in on a 
group of his neighbors one 
hundred and fifty miles distant 
from Boston, his headquarters, 
and more than that from 
Scituate his home.

Anywhere in the state is next 
door to the neighborly Mr, Marr in 

I the course of his duties as chair- 

I man of the Republican State Com- 
mittee. However, there is a limit 
to the time available to any man 

[ and pi-esumably a limit to his 

I speed and endurance, so occasion- 
ally Mr. Marr finds it impossible 
to neighbor in response to the In- 

[ vitations that come in from organ- 
isations for a talk, for advice or* 
for help. In such cases as this he 

I writes, telephones or telegraphs 
and the messages still have the 
same neighborly tone that Bill 
Smith wotild impart if he weie tell- 

I ing Percy Smithers he couldn't 
make the little Saturday night 
affair. 



Now to get down to the clam, 
the one bleak spot In the whole 
picture — a picture wherein or- 
ganization has Improved, party 
spirit has been built up, the 
will to win has been bolstared 
and everything is perking up 
in a most gratifying manner. 
The clam cannot build or break 
anything. It cannot sway the 
destinies of nations, the Re- 
publican party nor can it gel 
Mr. Marr down and keep him 
down. But is is a challenge, 
tills clam, a challenge that 
must l>e met and, by Gosh, will 
be met. 



The fact is that in all the out- 
I ings he has attended, Mr. Marr has 
not been privileged to perform the 
gustatorv acrobatics of eating a 
well buttered clam. Of all the 
clams that have been shucked at 
these outings, not one has been 
I shucked by Mr, Marr, who is a 
clam shucker of artistic tniirh and 
a "Irencherman ol^ indomitable wil! 
and finished performance. 

It has just so happened that 
Mr. Marr hasn't been able to 

I time his arrival exactly with 
the serving of the clams. Or 
if he has he has iKien go busy 
sliding second, digging out of 

I the rough or chasing potatoes 
that he has just missed the 
clam course. It seems strange 
that he could so consistently 
miss clams, which aft<>r the 
steaming process are over 
agile, but he has by one twist 
or another of circumstances. 
But his ambition is not 
dimmed, his spirit soars high. 
He slinks to the trail of that 
clam. So, cry havoc and let 
loose the dogs of war. Get that 
clam. We w'ant a touchdown. 



Jackson Day Dinner's 
I' Reverberations Waited 

Invitation to Tiigw^ell as Chief Speaker at 
Hub Jan. 8 Stirs Interest as Breach Be- 
tween State Wing and Federal Bloc of 
Mass. Democrats Is Recalled 

By CLINTON P. ROWE 

Telegram State House Reporter 

BOSTON, Dec. 28.— The possible appearance of Dr. Rexford j 
G. X'Jgwell, presidential super-brain truster and a target Admin- 
istra'don critics seldom miss, at the Jackson Day dinner here on ! 
Jan. 8 is anticipated with an interest that would not ordinarily 
attach to a party figure of national prominence. 

As R powerful figure in Admin-* 
istration policies, which are under- 



going violent attack in Massachu- 
sett.s from Democratic source.s, 
Tugwoll ha.s been invited to make 
a public appearance here at a time 
when state party stalwarts and the 
"Federal crowd," pausing only long 
enough and only occasionally to 
profes.q undying admiration for the 
President, are kicking shins, 
tweaking noses and pulling hair by 
the handful in the merriest of ham- 
merlocks and body slams. 

There is, very di-stinctly, the state 
crowd and the Federal crowd, 
Thoy are referring to each other 
in those tcims. The Federal crowd 
is represented by those Democrats 
holding Federal jobs in connection 
with the multiple alphabetized Fed- 
eral activities. The state crowd 



cies and distinctly a i<eaerai man. 
He is invited to give the principal 
speech. Of cour.se, there will be 
other olticials present, city, town 
and state, according to the plans, 
but in the main it might look like 
a "Federal crowd," 

The Jackson Day dinners are In 
charge of young Democrats of the 
several slates by order of Post- 
master General James A, Farley, 
who wield.s a field marshal's baton 
a.s chairman of the Den.ooratic Na- 
tional Committee. It is assumed 
that such a dinner would be de- 
signed to stir up fervor for Mr. 
Roosevelt, which, from a party 
standpoint is no doubt fitting and 
proper, but the state 'ads have an 
election on their hands next Fall, 
too. There was resentment over 
the Worcester County Democratic 



comprises those who may hold I League dinner at Fitchhurg a few 



state elective office or who align 

themselves with those who do. 

More particularly, in numbers, they 

represent the element which holds 

no good Federal job, or for that 

matter any kind of a Federal job. 

In the heat of exchanges they will 

shout Icather-lungcd announcement 

that there is no kind of a Federal 

job— pick and "hovel, even -to be 

I had by good Democrats under the 

I existmg arrangement. Accordingly 

, they hammer the Administi'ation 

policies with an enthusiasm and 

' singleness of purpo.ie that amazes 

I the observer and probabl 

the Federal bo.vs, 

I And Now the Dinner 

; Now comes the Jack.«on Day dln- 
|ner, a traditional gathering of 
; Democrats, wherein the party is 
j suppo.sed to stand in a solid ph.,-

the Republican part.v. And" as 
I comes the Jackson Dav dinner so 
apparently comes Dr. Tugwe'll 
standing for many criticized poli- 



ii.V amazes 



, week.T ago because "the Federal

to the Jackson Day affair. l

ingly critical of the policies of the ' 
National Administration as they 
are being carried out in Massachu- 
setts. State Auditor Thomas H. 
Buckley, outspoken critic of the 
way national undertakings have 
been managed in Massachusetts, 
said it was not the President who 
should be blamed, but those who 
hart treated traitorously his poli- 
cies.

J 



Wasn't Fooling: 

Indfiod, Mr. Buckley was quite 
vociferous about it. Hft ha.s been 
on other occasionH. Go vernor Cur- 
ley has gone so far as Topupgest 
that Arthur G. Rotrh, WPA ad- 
mlnLstrator for the .state and cen- 
ter of considerable party a.<;sault, 
quit his office. The Governor lias 
charged the WPA i.s a complete 
flop, or even wor.se. Thi; breach 
oetwoen the .state boy., and the 
Jederal-s has been widening for 
some time. The .state committee 
hit a pace where Joseph A. May- 
nard, collector of the Port of Bos- 
ton under Pre.=idential appoint- 
ment, jumped into the fray in de- 
fense of the AdminLstrution and its 
, policies. 

So, in view of all this- the feel- 
ing between one faction and an- 

?i •;;^^''.^'""'='' '■" '°°'<*''i forward 
to with interest. The interest cen- 
ters in the fact that a Federal man 
has been invited as the principal 
speaker. The tickets for the dinner

I n,ti,^?H "'''>!* ^""P^^^^^^ a favorable 
I attitude, he is taken up for sup- 
port as again.st one that does not. 
The planners appear to be center- 
ing their effort on regular party 
member.s rather than to be making 
any effort, at present, to introduce 
a third party ticket into the field. 
Thi.s might come in districts where 
neither a Republican or Democra- 
tic contestant would indorse the 
plan. 

In Massachusetts, if Hawks holds 
to a recent declaration, the Town- 
s<'ndite.« will have an active hand 
in the United .States senatorial 
nght. He has alreadv declared war 
on Governor Curley", who opposes 
he Townsend plan and espouses 
heartily the President's social se- 
f^urity plan. The declaration of 
war was. of cour.-^e, on the assump- 
tion that the Governor will adhere 



to his announced determinatio.n 
of seeking the senatorial nomina- 
tion. He in.sists that he will, but 
is announced a maio"r "part' of'"the '' t^J' doubters continue doubting,

and how liberally " the Federal 
crowd bought the fancy priced tic- 
kets. 



However, on the surface of 
things, it probably will be quite a 
dinner. Democrats have generally 
had a way of covering their differ- 
ences, although of late some of 
them have been making no effort 
to do so. The word has gone out' 
that the Ma.'wichuselts delegation 
to the National convention must be 
pledged to Roo.scvelt. The further 
word goes forth that slate office 
holders must stand or fall with th° 
President, whether they like it or 
not. .So they praise the President 
and blast the way his policies are 
administered and slash at the men 
! who admjnipter them. 

TownsendKcH .Active 

The Townsend plan, under which 
everyone over 60 years of age 
would receive $200 a month on 
condition that it was spent eacii 
month, continues to be pushed 
about as political bait, thunder or 
, dynamite, depending upon the view- 
point of who pushes it and the 
direction in which they are push- 
ing. The Townsendites have be- 
come rather aRCressive of late, not 
only in Ma.s«irhusetts, but in gen- 
eral the country over. 

The latest state development was 
the assertion of Charles M. Hawks, I 
I manager of the Townsend plan in 
Massachusetts, that he thought if ' 
Senator Borah of Idaho were the I 
Republican presidential nominee 
the Town.send plan, or ..jonie form 
of it. would be included in the Re- 
publican party platform. It de- 
veloped that the Townsend follow- 
ers had conferred with Senator 
Borah, potential presidential can- ' 
aiaale, and came away with the in- ' 
ference. so Hawks said, that Borah 
\yould not accept a vice-presiden- , 
tial running mate unless that run-, 
ning mate lined up properly for 
some form of social security. | 

Candidates Contacted i 

The apparent effort of the Town.s- 
end plan advocates in Massachn 
setts and probably elsewhere ^or" 
the time being, is to contact pos- 



due for delivery on Jan. 1. is looked 
forward to with considerable in- 
terest, particularly as to whether 
there will be a tone of farewell, ac- 
tual or implied, to the legislative 
branch. If he should specially de- 
clare himself out of the Governor- , 
ship race in this niec>sage. it might 1 
i -serve to create a stronger belief | 
I that he is through and done with 
the governorship.

Crippled and Maimed 
Cost of Carelessness 

(See graphic pictures on Page 8) 

(To show motorists the terrible results of careless, 
dangerous and drunken driving, the Boston Sunday Ad- 
vertiser presents herewith the facts contained m a typical 
police report of a Boston automobile accident — Details 
which are never published by newspapers because they 
are too distressing to the reader. This series will be con- 
tinued with illustrations in the Boston Evening American.) 

By PAUL WHELTON 
The car was doing about 45 on a slight curve. 
Corning in the opposite direction was another fellow, 
speeding and with tires squealing protest against the side 
pressure. 

It was one of those angle crashes, with the slower 
car shooting off obliquely and making a rolling dive down 
an embankment. 

Bleeding and unconscious, two passengers were 
loaded into an ambulance. Then police discovered a third. 
He was doubled up like a broken stick and was half way 
through the rear window. 

They didn't dare unbend him until they reached the 
hospital, although he was alive and conscious. 

He proved that by stealing the policeman's gun out of 
its holster and trying to shoot himself and end for all time 
the terrific pain. 

When the surgeon cut the clothes away, he stepped 
back and caught his breath. It was one of those cases that 
internes pour into the horrified ears of first-year students. 
The spine was snapped clean, bent at an acute angle, 
and its bare end protruded from a rent in the skin, "like 
the stump of a horrible, bony tail."

DEATH TAKES THE WHEEL-nnd this Ls the bald re- 
port of -just one automobile alccidcnt, the report of just three 
men injured. 

But in Massachusetts, THUS FAR JX JOr,.-) ALONE, there 
have been 47,500 persons injured, 2370 of tliem hopelessly 
crippled for the remainder of tlieir lives. 

In this year the appalling total of 794 men. women and 
children have lost their lives in automobile accidents — men, 
women and children who were alive and healthy a year ago 
this date, with the thought of death perhaps farthest from their 
minds. 

It is in an attempt to bring forcibly before ihe public the 
fact that death waits at every turn tiiat this artielf. the first 
of a series, is pul)lished today. 

And wliere Death misses in its ]eorin«r spring, there still 
stretches out the long road of suffering and agony, the endless 
parade of crippled and maimed, of drooling, doddering idiots 
unfortunate enough to have survived frai-tured situlls and the 
brain tearings accomiianying. 

So far ill 1935, hospital records show tliat 5980 persons have 
been eoulined for periods as long as six months because of auto- 
mobile injuries; 4690 per.sons for as long as three months and 
9210 for as long as six weeks. | Vueme, in order to obtain pos- 

Reqairing treatment from two '— -' - - 

days to a month have been 
]J,798 men, women and children. 
And the co.st of all this ap- 
palling record of automobile ac- 
cidents! 

At a low average of only ?350 
a funeral, undertakers have been 
paid more than a quarter of a i 
million dollars; doctors have 
been paid a million and a half — 
and insurance companies have 
paid out the staggering total of 
$V5„'^67,875 for injuries and 
death. 

In addition, the insurance 

companies liave paid out more 

millions for property damage in- 

I wrred in automobile accidents 

; wlierc there was no injur}- or 

! death.

Seen as Spur to Movement 



DIRECT SAFETY DRIVE 



Heralding the opening of the 
1936 safety drive in Massachu- 
setts, the Boston Sunday Adver- 
tiser-Boston American series of 
preventive articles, titled "Death 
Taltes the Wheel," was praised 
highly yesterday by Massachu- 
setts leaders. 

Tha articles constitute a group 
of vivid lessons that shows how 
death waits at eveiy turn for the 
careless automobile driver and for 
the careless pedestrian. 

They include lessons illustrating; 
how even a second's laclc of vigil-- 
ance a car may he exchanged for 
a horrible death and an eternity of 
silence — or gtill more horrible in- 
juries that make for a virtual livinj; 
death. 

Starting today in the Boston Sun- 
day Advertiser, the series of art- 
icles will be continued daily in the 
Boston Evening American.

Massachusetts involving payment

"It Is up to the public them-

THE SENA TOR SA YS: 

Just Huddles Won't 

Dig the City Out 

Of Blizzard 



THE SENATOR: 

He sees all and knows all that's f>oins, on in Massachusetts 
politics and most of it he finds amusing or amazing, or both. 
Best of all, he tells about it. 

Meet him below and listen in with him regularly in the 
Boston Sunday Advertiser and Boston Evening American. 

"Timmy. " says The Senator, curlinj; his lutlc finger like a 
pig-tail as he lifts his beer glass, "I am expecting an important 
phone call that may come here." 

"There are three calls for you already 
before you come in, Senator," says 
Timmy. 

"And what did you tell them. Tim- 
ray?"' asks The Senator. 

"Snowball answers them," says Tim- 
my, "and he says what he always says. 
that he has not seen you for a month. The 
party is very insistent." 

"Well." says The Senator. "I will take 
the call next time becanse it sounds like 
one I am very anxious to get. Speakinc 
of phone calls. I was sitting in Police 
Commissioner Gene's office yesterday 
when there was a sound like an old Gar- 
rett raid and it turned out that Police 
Commissioner Gene had installed a patrol 
wagon gong for his priTate teleohone 
bell.' 

"That is all very well for the commiRsioner, Senator.'' says 
Timmy," but I do not want a lot of customers trampled to death 
at the exits if a phone call comes in." 

"Timmy." says The Senator. "I have been looking some 
more into the plan for Charlie Manser to push the Finance Com- 
mission into a real probe of city snow removal costs and what 
have I found but that not one of the contracts have been award- 
ed yet for this $67.t.000 worth of snow removal eciuiipment, 

"The council passed this loan order on December 3 and 
bids on specifications had already been solicited quietly but it 
is now nearly four weeks since the money was made available 
and no order has been placed. Furthermore, it will taks six 
weeks after award of contracts before some orders can be 
filled. How do you like that. Timmy? ' 




ilv on the pavtoU. Juage i> ucn 



The snow plows will come in very handy in June," says 
Timmy, and they can spend the winter planting the lilacs for 
the road beautification program that must be completed in 
January." 

"Mayor Freddie and D. Frank Doherty, city purchasing 
agent, have been in several huddles," says The Senator, "but a 
huddle will never dig you out of a blizzard. Mr. Frank Doherty 
and Governor Jim are not what you could call buddies as a result 
of a very large brawl they had once when Governor Jim was 
mayor, ending in Mr. Frank Doherty'.s re.signation as city pur- 
chasing agent at that time. So this is more fuel for the nice 
go between Mayor Freddie and Governor Jim." 

It i.>i just at thi.s point that the — 

phone ring.s again and The Sena- 
tor give.s Snowball the bad rye a.s 
Snowball shuffles to the phone. 
"Senatah ain't heah, nowise," 
Snowball says to the telephone. 
"Ah ain't seen Senatah in heah 
foh weeli^i an' weeks an' week§." , - . _ 

-The Senator is making signals (ime snd then .<?nnwhal| squeezes 
It Snowball onlv rrino in(„ (ho; . ""..rtu sijueezes 

I part way in aftrr him and they arc 
like to bust the Bides out of the 
booth. 

The Senator lift.s the receiver and 
puts it to his car, and Snowball 
eays into the mouthpiece, "Hello. | 
hello derc on dc telumphonc. De I 
Senatah got de part goes on dc | 
ear." i 

"SnowbaJI,- gasps The Senator, 
"just tell them this is not Buck- ( 
ennieyer's Bakery and then yell 
for Timmy, because we are both 



"Yes, suh. Senatah, boss," navs 
Snowball. 

So The Senator and Snowball go 
to the phone booth and The Senator 
says he will get in first on account 
of he has got to listen on his left 
ear, and he edges in a little at - 



but Snowball only grins into the 
telephone and says, "No, suh, Ah 
don' epeck Senatah in heah no 
moah. No, suh." 

Snowball hangs up looking very 
pleased. 

"Senatah, boss," says Snowball, 
"that man talk the foolishinest 
talk bout dp triieks to haul de 
snow when ain't no sjiow. Ah try 
to make out you ain't heah but 
Ah dunno. That man he say he 
fall again. Senatah, boss." 
The Senator say«: 
"Timmy, quicki another like be- 
/ore." 

News on Donovan 

The Senator works out on this 
one very fast and It is easy to see 
he is upset about the last call. 

"Timmy," says the Senator, "I 
hear George Donovan, the Southie 
city oouncillor, who is through 
Tuesday, is going to he director 
of child welfare Jn the institu- 
tions department. This is Walter 
McCarthy's old job. George used 
to bei a welfare visitor and re- 
tained his civil service rating, 
and it looks as if Mayor Freddie 
would name him after the New 
Year. 

"What do you know about .Tim- 
my Brennan quitting old Charles- 
town that elected him to the gov- 
ernor's council and the legisla- 
ture, and moving out into Gov- 
ernor .Jim's Ward 19 in -lamaica? 
... I see Eddie Hoy, the gover- 
nor's secretary has grabbed him- | 
self an S-X3 registration off a : 
truck in the D street garage for 
his own new state cat. Every- ■ 
body has been very leery of the 
small S numbers but Eddie took 
the bull by the horns and grabbed 
the 1,3. From what I can learn. . ." 

It IS at this point that the phone 
ring5 again, very loud and long. 
^ "Snowball," says The Senator, 

If that is the last call I want 
't. But maybe It Is not. I have 
an idea. I will get into the booth 
and listen on the receiver and 
you can say Hello' so they, will 
not get my voice. If I nod, vou 
s«.y 1 am here and I will talk. 
If r shake my head, you say I 
have left for home 10 minutes 
ago. Be very careful, because 
I do not want to get stuck with 
the wroivs- r.«ll."

Indifference Angers Curley, 

' Who Wins Council Bacl<ing, 

High Official Tells Advertiser 

_ Angered becau.se of alleged I 

mdlfference" of the board of pa- I 

role regarding conditions in state I 

institution.,, Governor Curley is I 

moving to oust the entire board, 

he Boston Sunday Advertiser 
learned last night from a hieh 
state official. ^" 



The governor's Ire Is declared to 
be directed chiefly against Chair- 
man Richard Olney and Commis- 
sioner P. Emmett Gavin, the latter 
particularly because he was a close 
associate of a political friend of 
a former governor. 

In hia move against the parole 
board, the governor has nearly the 
full support of the executive coun- 
cil, the high state official revealed. 
This support comes as a result 
of the councillor's personal in- 
vestigation of parole methods, ob- 
tained in a visit to State Prison 
at Charlestown, where the coun- 
cillors heard the uncontrolled re- 
ports of officials and inmates. 
VISIT CONCORD 

Tomorrow the governor's coun- 
cillors will visit Concord Reform- 
atory, where officials and inmates 
—all picked at random— will be 
mterviewed in the same manner 
that officials and inmates at the 
State Prison were questioned. 

Flame from the spark of unrest 
was ignited almo.st on Christmas 
Eve by the killing of Walter R 
Doucette of 863 Columbia road 
Dorchester, State Prison guard, by 
two State Prison convicts who had 
despaired of release by the parole 
beard. 

This Is according to the state 
official, who pointed out that a 
former chairman of the parole 
board, Frank Brook.s, is now a 
niimbcr of the governor's council 
and knows all the workings back 
of the board. 

No one better 'than Councillor 
Brooks, according to the .state of- 
ficial, knows the unwritten law 
(hat ft judge, in sentencing a 
prisoner, takes into consideration 
the understanding that the man 
incarcerated will be released on 
pai-ole at experatlon of two-thirds 
of his minimum sentence. j 

BACK I.V PRISON ; 

It wa.s learned yesterday that one 
of the cases brought to the atten- 
tion of the governor's councillors 
was that of a man clapped back 
^ into prLson because he had stayed 
I out late. 

Indirectly. this inmate was 
trapped because a holdup had been 
committed and a policeman named 
Johnson, knowing the convict's 
family and that the convict wag on 
parole, picked him up. 

The paroled man was cleared on 
the holdup onus, but nevertheless 
was sent back to prison— to serve 
I 12 to 20 years of his unexpired 
sentence— merely because he had 
been picked up and police had 
I been told of his late arrivals home.

This "Auto Accident Extra" has Im- 
pressed state officials and leaders in the auto- 
mobile business who have been privileged to 
see an advance copy of it as one of the 
strongest safety arguments ever called to 
their attention. The comments of some of 
these notables follow: 

Governor James M. Curley 

''The publication of the facts with reference to 
deaths and injuries resulting from motor vehicles In a 
single year is the greatest contribution made by anv 
agency to a safety campaign. 

"That drastic action is necessary, both for the pro- 
tection of the public and for one of America's leadinc 
Industries, is accepted by everyone. To the pre-jent 
time we have closed our eyes and our cars to the 'ap- 
palling total of dead and injured, and this graphic pub- 
lication of the record should result in the excrce of 
greater care on the part of every individual operating 
a motor vehicle The Boston Globe is rendering a mo"^ 
notable service." '^ "^^

"Much nas Deen written relative to the increase in 
power and speed of the present day motor vehicle, but 
to me it Is not the mechanical fault but rather the human 
element which causes the accidents. Accidents don't 
just happen, they are caused, and in the vast majority 
of cases any caused accident is the result of negligence, 
poor judgment or inattention on the part of not only the 
driver of the motor car, but also the pedestrian involved 
In any such accident. 

"All persons, whether motor vehicle drivers or pedes- 
trians, need to be further educated in the matters of 
traffic safety, and the Globe in its effort to further such 
education is to be conRratuiated. 

"The Boston Automobile Club, the local unit of the 
American Automobile A.ssociation, will be most happy 
to cooperate with the Globe in every way pofsible in its 
present efforts on the reduction of highway accidents and 
highway fatalities." 

Day Baker 

Molor Truck Ownert Service Bureau 

"We want to commend tlie worli \\hKh the Bo.^ton 
Gobe is doing in making our highways safe. It is one 
Of the mo.st important pieces of work toward the saving 
«f lives and the prevention of injuries. 

"With the idea uppermost in our minds all of the 
Motor Truck and Ruf; AsKOciations with which I am con- 
nected arc waging an education campaign for the pur- 
pose of making the highways of Mas.sachusctts safe. For 
the past seven years this work has been active and the 
results have shown a remarkable decrease in the accident 
ratio per each 1000 miles traveled by the trucks and 
buses. 

"Not content to rc.<:t on what has been done, the 
truck and bus industries under the leadership of the 
safety committee of the American Trucking Associa- 
tions, cooperating with the Massachusetts Safety Coun- 
cil, are about lo launch an intensive campaign to further 
reduce the accident ratio and thus for the public gen- 
erally make the highways of the Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts the safest roads on which to drive in this 
country. 

"To the passenger car drivers, we say we will show 
you every courtesy, just 'give us a signal and the road 
is yours.' but exercise all caution when passing trucks 
Bnd buses." 

Mayor Frederick W. Mansfield 

''A greater measure of safety on the public highwayi 
Is one of the most pressing public problems of the hour. 
It is unnecessary to repeat statistics to show that more 
civilians are killed and injured within a given time upon 
our highways than during a ."Similar space of time in war. 
Everyone knows the facts and they are appalling. 

"Recently at the United States Conference of Mayors 
a paper on this subject was read by a delegate from New 
York city and the debate was cjuite general. All agreed 
upon the necessity for a reduction in traffic casualties. 
It was suggested that committees be appointed in the 
various cities, and it jr my intention to appoint such a 
eommittee which will begin to function shortly after the 
New Year in an endtavor to attract public attention to 
the nrcr^Fity for grenter care and the preservation of 
kiuman liie and limbs."

STATE HAS A NEW KIND OF 
' AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER 

■" — ■ — — ■ — — . ^ 

Howard Murphy Believes Massachusetts Farmers Have Never B 
r Taken Care Of From Selling Point of View^And 

He Is an Expert Salesman 



een 



By LOUIS M. LYONS 

The new Commissioner of Agri- 
culture in Massachusetts is a sales- 
man born and bred. Selling, he 
thinks, is the job that the Massa- 
chusetts farmer most needs to 
]earn. So salesmanship is the key- 
note that Howard Plaines Murphy 
brings to his new post in the state 
government. 

He has been on the selling end 
of the food industry all his life. 
As a boy he delivered by basket 
and team to the Beacon Hill cus- 
tomers of his father's old-time gro- 
cery at the corner of Mt Vernon ! 
and Charles sts. After college he '■ 
became a wholesale grocer himself 
and had 20 years of that. 

More recently he has taken time 
out from his farming down at Os- 
terville to sell James M. Cuyla v to 
the Cotuit Grange and to the Mash- 
pee Indians and to the rural voters 
in general through the state. Mr 
Murphy may be said to have been 
the farm sales agent of Mr Curley's 
campaign for Governor. The rural 
results were so satisfactory that 
Mr Murphy began preparing to be 
Commissioner of Agriculture as 
soon as Mr Crillcy had been 
elected. 

There were some objections. The 
Grange and the Farni Bureau de- 
clared he lacked agricultural qual- 
ifications. But the influential Milk 
Control Board member, Edward 
Shattuck, whose folks have been 
larmmg the same land in Andover 
tor four generations, went to see 
tne salesman-nominee, was con- 
vinced that Mr Murphy had what 
farming needs in the Bay State and 
threw the f u 1 force of his support 
m favor of this new kind of agri- 
culture commissioner. 




Better Marketing Needed 

The first day on his now job Mr 
Murphy met a good many of the 
fr.rm leaders who had been against 
him. He told them ail he was ready 
to let bygones be bygones and talked 
to them about the importance of em- 
phasizing the marketing end of the 
larmer'.s job. That first dav suggest- 
ed that Mr Murphy is going to be a

enough help on selling the produce." 

What the PuMic Wants 

Mr Murphy, speaks in an easy 
affable conversational way. He is a 
comfortable-looking, healthy, well- 
rounded figure of a man of 50. 
Thirty years ago he was a fast 
tjuarter-miler and won some swim- 
ming championships. He was single 
sculls champion of Now England, 




otV duty, his classmate suggested that 
he might turn some private practice 
Wood's way. "No, Finny," said Wood, 
""I'm going to try the army," and 
there he found the career that his 
Hanovcr-st doctor's office was failing 
to provide. 

Part-Time Jobs Needed 

Commissioner Murphy's oldest boy, 

Howard Jr. wants to be a doctor and 

, a farmer. "I don't know why that 

1 wouldn't be a good combination," che 

I father says. "They're both part-time 

Bcuiis ciuunpiuii ui i.uw ^>>S""". I occupations." He feels that thcre| 

?Z-!^S.7 l^^ '' ^'UhouW be more recognition of thej 

He^s put on some weight since I P"t-ti"L^ P.°=.^''''!'"« ''^ ^?™'"f ,'"1^ 
those days. He 
"this corporation 
patting his substantial 
leads him to speak of the changes 
living conditions and equally in food 
habits, and that brings him back to 
the necessity that the farmer raise, 
what the public wants to buy. . 

"There's no sense raising a pink 
tomato when the public wants a red 
one. We don't need so many pota- 
toes as we used to. In my house a 
peck of potatoes lasts the eight of 
u? and the maid for a week." 

They aren't all eight there now. 
The three girls are abroad at school. 
They are studying cooking, cilong 
with music, art and Janguages, "and 
learning to speak English iji Europe," 
their father chuckles, 
them in Austria that they didn't 
speak English, they snoke .American." j 

Tlie oldest girl, Miriam, 19, is so | 
keen about cooking that she's going 
to a cooking school in England after 
her fine arts education is complete. 
Her father thinks it i.^ a good field j 
because, he says, "it's practically non- I 
competitive. How many times do j 
you ever eat in a place that you j 
would go out of your way to return | 
to?" ! 



farmer was a Yankee. He did every 
thing. Today too many think they: 
should live by farming only." 

In the five years he has had a farm 
on the Cape, Howard Murphy has^ 
combined other things. One Winter 
he worked in a chain store, selling 
on the vegetable counter three days 
and on the meat and fish counter the' 
other three. He has the Government 
contract for carrying the mails from 
West Barnstable to several of the vil- 
lage postoffices around. "That's my 
cash crop." he says. "A farmer needs 
,,, ^...„^.. , something to fill in. I bid in quite a 
Tlicy' fold I few routes, enough to make it worth 
" while." 

He recalls the many things his 
grandfather did to round out a living 
on the land. That was Joseph Haines 
of Damariscotta Mills, Me. He farmed 
and ran the general store and grist 
mill, sawmill, match factory, lathe 
shop, shipped ice to the West Indies 
and eels to New York. He'd built a 
ship when he was 19. He was treas- 
urer of the town and Representative 
in the Logi.^lalure. 

He invented the smelting shanty 
with canvas sides, a stove and a diair, 
so a fellow could fish through the icj 
in comfort even in a blizzard. He 
died when he was 32, but left hi.s wife 
enough to last her through to 07. 
That's the kind of farmer Howard

of his, James Smithwick, married in 
1800 down at Damariscotta Mills, 
Elizabeth Jackson, who.se mother had 
been the first Roman Catholic con- 
vert in New England. Bishop Seve- 
rus, the Catholic cleiic who per-

fcr the act because Maine folks in 
those days did not consider a Roman 
Catholic a minister of God. 

Buying: Habits Change 

The Haines came into the situation 
by way of shipwreck on the Maine 
shore in 1732. The commissioner's 
mother was a Haines. She was on tile 
Maine homestead the Summer of his 
birth, and Commissioner Murphy 
was born in Boston "by 24 hours," 
he says. 

His father and grandfather Murphy 
were bolh born in Boston of a later 
Irish line than the Smithwick's. 

Howard Murpliy's ow.ii^ boyhood be- 
gan on Mt Vernon st. He went to 
the Prince School and liclped his 
father in the store. It was a store 
that catered to the best families of 
Boston in the days when they lived 
on Beacon Hill. Frank S. Murphy 
ran that store 50 years. 

He sent his son away to Mt St 
Mary's College in Maryland, after 
that to a business college in Boston, 
then to Lowell Textile Institute. But 
the boy must have got a lot of his 
education in pleasing the customers, 
in his father's store. He saw buy- 
ing habits change from the time when 
a family bought flour and sugar by 
the barrel to the day of the tin can 
and the fancy package. 

"People are their own buyers in 
the modern grocery .'^torc," says Mur- 
phy." In the old-fashioned store the 
fellow behind the counter was a 
salesman. He would pick you out a 
piece of meat or a cabbage. Now 
the produce is on display and the 
customer buys it by eye. If he doesn't 
get a good buy it's his own fault. He 
buys what looks good, what is evenly 
packed, evenly colored. 

The farmer today has a direct 
chance at the consumer. His job is 
to put up his goods to appeal to the 
eye. He must pack his goods to suit 
the customer. A lot of missionary 
work is needed to help tho farmer 
raise what the market wants as it 
wants it. 

"The belter we raise produce the 
less we will have to worry about 
competition from outside. The better 
you raise anything the less com- 
petition you have. There wa? never 
anything too good to eat. Other 
states have to find a market. We 
have Jt right here. 

Selling Problems 

"But the farmer's market has 
changed from small retailers to large 
chain?. To deal wilh the large buyer, 
the farmer needs to sell in large 
units. He needs to cooperate with 
other producers to get volume that 
will interest large buyers, and he 
need.s size of organization to be on a 
level with the big buyer. If he is a 
little fellow the big buyer has the 
di-op on him— a take it or leave it 
attitude. 

"For 20 years I bought butter, eggs, 
maple sirup, honey and whatnot from 
the farmers and sold it to large insti- 
tutions. I know the selling prob- 
lem. Take the Idaho potato, coming 
in here and selling for a nickle 
apiece, all graded and packed. Take 
the Winesap apple from tho West. It 
pleases the eye, beautifully packed. 
It can't compare with our Mackin- 
tosh apples from Nashoba Valley. 
Take a bite of one our apples and 
juice splashes all over you. There's 
no juice in the shipped-in apple. But 
we've got to compete in selling.

.^.-' 







I "VVeve got 10 pay. atiention to 
' style, color, flavor, shipping and 
keeping qualities of our produce, and 
organize," 

He knows it's hard to organize 
New England farmer!,. He grins at 
the recoilection of crack .salesmen 
coming into New England and failing ; 
flat. "If you can sell New England, | 
you can sell any place," used to be 
the slogan. But he figures it's a job 
to be tackled. j 

"I claim a farmer shouldn't be al- j 
lowed to sell at suicidal prices," he i 
says, "A survey should be made of 
the cost of production and minimum 
prices fixed, just as has been done 
with milk by the Milk Control 
Board. 

Mistaken Competition 

"Take a roadside stand, A fellow 
raises nic; green corn and offers it 
at a price. The farmer one side of 
him sees his price and thinks he'll 
sell more by shading it. The fellow 
next to him tries the same idea and 
if you travel far enough you'll get 
corn for eight cents a dozen. 

"Now that's a onc-crop-a-ycar af- 
fair. The farmer thuik,s he's got some 
cash. But ha,": he'' Doesn't it cost 
something for fertilizer, seed and his 
time? If it's anyways possible, that 
farmer, for th:' good of all. should 
be prevented from ."■elling under cost. 
All our wealth romes out of the ."^oil 
If the farmer doesn't m,akc anything, 
you don't get anywhere. " 
I The new commissioner evidently 
I believes that the control powers of 
the Department of Agrirulture should 
be used increasingly to protect the 
Mas.'^achusctts farmer in the local 
markrt. But he prefers for the pres- 
ent to emphasize the need for bet- 
ter selling by organization, 

Howard Murphy knows some of the 
problems of the backyard farmer. He 
used to keep hrns in half his garage 
in Brighton, using sinrm windows to 
partition th;m off. He found space 
for farming in Newton and there in 
1928 as treasurer of the Al Smith | 
Club he entered the political lists ■ 
and ripened his acnuaintancc wilh 
James M, Curley, He was born a 
Democrat, His father tisod to pay 
the rent for the old Ward 11 Demo- 
cratic Club. 

Some five years ago, his position as 
jales manager with Cobb Bates & 
■yprxa having ended with the ending 
of that old grocery hou.se, he moved 
his family d^wn 'o CenlPWiUe onto 
a farm. He didn't do so well on th.^ 
first farm and moved to a smaller 
place in Osnerville. There his farm- 
ing has been a family aftair and he 
thinks it mighty educational for h'.s 
boys. 

Bark to the Thrrc R's 

Education is rinc of his hohbics. He 
ran for School Committee on a plat- 
form of returning to the old empha- 
sis on the three R '.' 'The main thing 
I want my boys to get is reading, 
writing, punctuation and arithmetic," 
he .^ays, "Thafs about all you and I

He didr't make the grade for ,

SAYS BOWKER 
' IS'TATHEAD" 

Goodv^in Declares Critic 
Cannot Think Straight 



Clown" and "Jester" Terms 
Figure in Interchange 



Th^ word "fathead" was added to 
the Curley-Goodwin-Bowker three- 
cornered controversy last night. 
Registrar of Motor Vehicles Frank 
A, Goodwin, replying to Representative 
Philip G. Bowker-.i ex-cathedra com- 
ment on the Curley-Goodwin row, 
declared the Representative to be • 
"fathead," 

The controversy, so far as verbal 
fireworks arc concerned, has been 
restricted to the linguistic joust be- 
tween the Registrar and the Repre- 
sentative. The Governor, after de- 
;;]2"^'"S that Goodwin either cease 
^r,r h^ a^t'vities or resign as Regis- 
trar, has been silent. The Governor

'" 'hg American trade uriion 



The Governor, taking notice of the 
protest, is said to have given Good- 
win his choice between his unpaid 
work as adviser of the Brotherhood 
of Shoe and Allied Craftsmen of 
Broclcton and the 56000 post as Regis- 
trar of Motor Vehicles. 

"Fake" Roirker Intimates 

This apparently severe reprimand 
from the Governor is, according to 
Bowker's cynical view of the mat- 
ter, a "fake," 

Bowker -went further In reflection 
Wttbe sincerity of the Governor and 
the Registrar, and suggested that the 
controversy was a "political blind," 
cseating the impression of an 
apparent break between Goodwin 
and Curley, so that Goodwin, with j 
convincing rage, could run, as a Re- 
publican, for th? United States Sen- 
ate, split the Republican vote and 
thereby injure the Governor's elec- 
tion to that otilce. 

Goodwin was quick to reply, 

"So far as Bowker is concerned he 
Is the Republican clown, a sort of 
jester for the Republican state com- 
mittee, .ind nobody pays much at- 
tention to him." 

Bowker returned to the fray. He 
said: 

"Talk about your court jester! 
Frankic certainly spread the white- 
w,ish when Curley pu'.led the strings 
on that Newton hit-and-run episode. 
Frankie heeled to h s master's voice 
that time, and he must be speaking 
for him again now. 

"It is too bad I showed him in the 
role of independent candidate before 
the curlai.n went up. It took the 
effect away from his bow. But, a? 
usual, when discovered, he is found 
sulking in the wings. 



Goodwin's Sally 

Goodwin turned his guns on the 
Repnscntafive again and announced: 

"I've answered him (Bowker) in 
the only way I can, I have told that 
I am not a candidate for ofKce, 

"The trouble with Phil is that he 
is afflicted with an unctuous medulla 
oblongata. whi§h. in common par- 
liance. means that he is a fathead. It 
makes it impossible for him to think ■ 
straight." i 

There were no new developments i 
last night on the main matter of dis- 
pute—the future of Goodwin as reg- 
istrar. ■

URGES CONTROL

Commission Would Also 
i End Tax Limits 



»a«ctflrf th;.t! Of his, James Smithwick, married in

ing to this recommendation. He said , citr and town sets its own tax limits 



the committee should keep its pres- 
ent bndgotary powers and be allowed 
to override the Mayor's veto by a- 
four-fifths vote, 

Folei/ Urges Veto 

A supplementary report was also 
filed by Henry E. Foley. Mayor Mans- 
field's appointee to th ; commi?sion, 
who disagreed with the commission 
"in the degree of control which 
should be imposed because of the 
lack ot political responsibility for 
city finances in the School Commit- 



annually, 

"The city of Boston was exempted 
from that/' the report slates, "and 
since that time Boston Mayors have 
been forced to appear before the 
Legislature practically every year 
asking for a new lax limit, in most 
cases in excess of the limit imposed 
by the previous Legislature." 

The commission found "this pro- 
cedure ill-advised," and sOggested 
thit the financial officers of Boston 
should consider the requirements of 
each department and arrange their 
budget according to the needs of the 
times, as is done in other cities.

Firmer control over the expendi- 
tures of the Boston School Com- 
mittee, abolition of tax limitations 
and curtailing the purposes for 
which Boston could borrow money j 
were recommended by the Special ' 
Commission on Municipal Finance, j 
appointed by the last Legislature, i 
which reported yesterday. , 

The commission, which was ap- ) 
pointed to determine to what ex- 
tent it was advisable to bring Bos- 
ton under the Municipal Finance 
act, which now applies to other 
cities in the state, found that Bos- 
ton was unique among the cities of 
the Commonwealth and that only 
parts of the act should be applied, 
i It found that the present system 
of having the Legislature establish 
a tax limit for the city was harm- 
ful and useless, but said it should 
be abolished only if greater control 
were established over the expendi- 
tures of the Boston School Com- 
mittee. 



"The commission therefor recom- 
mends that all statutory limits affect, 
ing any and all departments of th* 
City of Boston bo iibolishcd." 

The report sdds two paragraphsl 
later that this recommendation is 
made only if control is established 
over school appropriations, 

Its objections against such limita« 
tions are two-fold. First, the Legis- 
lative Committee on Municipal 
Finance has no time or facilities to 
, analyze the city's budget ciirci'uily 
1 School Committee, ^^jj 'determine if the expenditures are 
,'ney, assis_tant_superin-* j.ggj,Q„jjti' ^ necessary. Secondly, such 
" "a system divides the responsibility 

and impairs efToclive budget control. 

Urges Absolute Veto 

The report suggests the possibility 
of putting all school appropriations 
under control of the Mayor and City. 
Council, as is the case in most cities 
and towns, and says this would not 
b2 throwing such expenditures into 
politics. 

But, it recommends leaving the ap- 
propriation power with the School 
Committee, giving the Mayor an .ab- 
solute veto power over appropriac

a large seaport and the ce.iter of a 
large metropolitan area, which dis-

Writes Own Ticket 

The commission points out that the 
School Committee now writes its own 
1 ticket, but is not held responsible for 
I the tax rate by the public. It did not 
accuse the School Committee of un- 
I due extravagance, but warned of that 
' possibility. 

School Committeemen, the mcm- 

hcrs said, wore supposedly interested 

only in education, and pointed out 

that there was no limit to the 

amount that could be lx;neficially 

I expended in that direction. At pres- 

1 cnt, the report said, the School Com- 

j mittco can pass au.y sum by a four- 

I fifths vote and then- pass the appro- 

I priation over the Mayors veto by the 

same vote. 

1 Its conclvision on that point >was to 
I give the Mayor absolute veto power 
I over school appropriations in excess 
' of the amounts which the School 
Committee was authorized to appro- 
priate for certain set purposes under 
the acts of 1919 during 1935. 



the report says. Boston 
'i spent $2,800,000 on welfare. This item, 
, in 1935, v.'iU reach approximately 
$13,000,000. and represents an increase 
of $6 in the tax rate. In the mean- 
time, the report continues, valuations 
have decreased an amount equal to 
$5 on the tax rate, and the revenue 
collected has decreased an amount 
equal to about $3 on the tax rate. 

The report offers no solution for 
this dilemma, but says the city has 
been faced with either rigorous cur- 
tailment of salaries and services, or 
vvitii reasonable but less harsh cur- 
tailments and borrowing. 
The report flatly states: 
"While the city cannot continue 
borrov/ing to the present extent in- 
definitely, some borrowing for wel- 
1 fare must be done, unless either the 



priatcd for sot purposes in 19;!5. 

The report says it would not be 
wiso to impc-'e all the rcgulatione 
of the Municipal Finance act on 
Boston. 

The commission recommends the 
part of the law which limits a city's 
indebtedness to 2'^ percent of its as- 
sessed valuation should be applied 
to Boston with specific modifications. 

It also urges application of that 
section of the law which limits the 
purposes for which municipalities 
may incur debts, and a subsequent 
section which allows debt for certain 
additional purposes of an omer* 
gcncy and self-liquidating natur#. 

Loans Outside Limit 

The report says that in the pasj 
much special legislation has beeit

is utterly uncoUcetable, or thousands ' ' " '"'*' '■ — ■'• ■• — 

of employes are cut in their salaries 
or discharged." 



Views on Tax Limits 

On the subject of tax limits, which 
the commission would abolish after 
the School Committee expenditures 
are more controlled, the report says 
the evih of this limit system were 



borrow beyond the debt limit for 
purposes for which borrowing withili 
the limit would normally be (k* 
quired. 

The application of the sections 01 
the Municipal Finance act rocom* 
mended would not, the commissioU 
finds, entirely relieve this sitiiaticiv 
"which has undoubtedly caused larg4 
additions to the city debt." thi 



) 



General Court can. the report points 
cut still continue to give spcttial 
authorization for such borrowins 

"This commission wishes to 
cress" the report concludes on 
Qnbic'ct "the belief that requests fc. 
special authorizations should be carttj 
fully scrutinized and not be glinted 
unless there is a stronR pubhc neces,

Among other things, the Governor 
will ask for 
the place o

before the Legisl.iture. The two 
houses will have before them the re- , „„. 
port of the special commission, which i is Senator Joseph

smaller exemptions for the payers of 
income taxes, the taxation, as soon as 
may be, of interest on governmc.i;

porations, a uniform tax on insurance 
companies, higher taxes on pan 
muluel betting, and a tax on non-in-

The commission has this to say in 
regard to the State tax: "While th* 
commission m.ikes no specific recom-

which the municipalities arc unabie

apparently appealed to Gov Curley.

The Governor and Goodwin 

Some of the Republicans are un- 
willing to believe that Gov Curley 
Tnd Frank A, Goodwin, state regis- 
trar of motor vehicles ha\.e haa a 
disagreement in regard to thelat- 
ter's activities in labor matters. Those

There will be a new Republican j 
member of Uie Senate, William H. ' 
McSweeney of Salem, who was 
chosen at the special election a few 
months ago to succeed the late Sen- 
ator Albert Pierce of the same city. ■ 
With Uiat exception, the Senate will j 
have the same members it had at the i 
beginning of this year's session, I 

At one time there were reports that I 
the Democrats in the House might try i 
to oust Speaker Leverett Sallonstall I 
from his dais, but these rumors, if 
indeed there was ever any basis for ; 
them, are not now taken seriously, j

or the other of those offices. For 
there are people who. in spite of Gov 
CuAcy's statement that he wi 1 be 
a candidate for the Senate, insist 
that he will run for Governor. 

It is generally thought that in this 
matter the Republicans are setting 
UD a bogey in order to knock it 
down. Mr Goodwin does not need 
the excuse of a quarrel with Gov 
Curlev in order to run for the Gov- 
ernorship or the Scnatorship if be 
wants to do so, nor will that particr.-

him stronger when election day

would be sorry to have Mr Goodw'in 
give up the office he now holds. They 
believe he fills it better than any 
other man who has held it.

COLD CONFINES 
, CURLEY TO HOME 

Governor I'nable to Discuss 
Goodwin Situation 

Confined to his Jamaicaway liome ' 
Willi a severe head cold, Gov. Curley 
yesterday declined to give any of- 
ficial consideration to the publicly- 
stated refusal of Prank A. Goodwin, 
registrar of motor vehicles, to cea.se 
meddling in labor controversies or 
resign from the public service. 

The Governor informed Goodwin 
Friday that he would have to choose 
between his voluntary Job as un- 
paid adviser to a Brockton boot and 
shoe union and his $6000 job as 
registrar. No time limit was set 
for obeying the ultimal\mi. 

Meanwhile the organizations with 
which Goodwin ha.>: been a.s.sociated 
in Brockton rushed to his defence , 
and urged the Governor to with- 
draw his demand that Goodwin I 
abandon his labor activities under 
penalty of being ousted from his 
stale job. ' 

Goodwin reiterated his statement 
that he is not a candidate for elec- 
tive office next year and assailed 
Representative Philip G. Bowker of 
Brookline for voicing the su.spiclon 
that he Is engaged in a sham battle 
with the Governor and that he will 
play the role of assistant candidate 
to Mr. Curley in next year s election.

EDITORIAL NOTES 



The work and wages Governor_Ciirley was 
elected to provide he now blames Adminis- 
trator Rotch for not delivering. 



Frank A. Goodwin, register of motor ve- 
hicles, a job that pays from the state treas- 
ury ?6000 a year salary, is quoted as saying 
his position is secondary with him to his ac- 
tivities in connection with shoe workers' dif- 
ficulties with their employers in Haverhill, 
for which he receives no remuneration. We 
always understood that state salaries were 
paid in return for full time services and the 
exercise of what intelligence the job, holder 
had. We were wrong. This is another fla- 
grant example of the attitude of far too many 
office holders — get a state job and do what- 
ever else you wish. The public does not care. 
If it did it would be more careful of the cali- 
bre of men it places in office. 



The death of Frank I. Dorr, owner of Ray- 
mond's in Boston, recalls an almost forgot- 
ten advertisement that one saw everywhere 
in Boston 45 years ago advertising pants for 
a concern with which Mr. Dorr was then 
connected. It was: 

When a pant hunter, pantless, 

Is panting for pants. 

He panteth unpanted until 

He implants 

Himself in a pair of our Plymouth Rock 
Pants. 

Mr. Dorr was a great and original advertis- 
er. He regarded advertising as an invest- 
ment, not an expense.

BOSTON— The State Board of 
Paroles has been "too arbitrary" In 
considering applications and has re- 
fused to consult prison officials re- 
garding release gf prisoners, mem- 
bers of the executive council charg- 
ed today before leaving for an in- 
spection of Concord reformatory. 

One councilor said slate prison is 
"loaded with dynamite" as result 
of the present workings of the pa- 
lole system. 1 

The councilors say thst the parole 
board has not used its privilege to 
release inmates at the end of two 
thirds of the minimum sentence for 
good behavior. 

Tlio state board will be given a 
State House hearing. There are rome 
who foresee in this an effort to 
oust, the board and rrpl.Tce it with 
Curley appointees.

EVERY WEEK 

WPA Bi-Monthly Payroll System Should 

Be Replaced by Plan of More Fre- 

qunt Wage Payments 



The bi-monthly vVPA payroll payment system func- 
tioned so badly in Massachusetts before Christmas as to 
create serious doubt as to its practicability and as to the 
advisability of continuing it in the future. 

According to State Administrator Arthur G. Rotch, 
the wages are due the workers five days after the period 
for which they are to be paid has elapsed, but the delay 
was much greater than that in many instances, thousands 
did not get their money until the day before the holiday, 
and it was a sad Christmas for nearly 3,000 Massachu- 
setts people whose checks were not issued until the latter 
part of last week. Here in Lawrence, less than fifty WPA 
employes went unpaid on the holiday, but the last several 
hundred were not paid off until the day before, and hun- 
dreds more had to go to the Oak street office on their own 
time last Monday evening up to 8:30 o'clock to get their 
•wages. The situation created on the latter occasion was 
dangerous as well as inconvenient. The crush of people 
in the corridor and on the stairway was so great that it 
was only after delay and with firreat difficulty that many 
were able to get out of the building after being paid off. 
Onlythe good nature and tolerant attitude that have been 
in evidence mong the Lawrence workers all along prevent- 
ed a serious disturbance akin to those that have taken 
place in other cities. 

After more than two years in the business of provid- 
ing relief work for the country's unemployed through the 
medium of the CWA, ERA and WPA the federal govern- 
ment has no excuse for such inefficient handling of pay- 
roll payments. Even if the payments were being made on 
time and on the job in all in.stances, as they should be, the 
bi-monthly .system for relief workers is wrong. It was ex- 
ceedingly difficult for an ERA worker with a family to 
stretch his $12 wage out over every week but the WPA 
employe's task in budgeting $27.50 through a half-month 
period is harder still. 

State Administrator Rotch is in favor of weekly pay- 
ments, but he has not the power to put them into effect. 
He made such a recommendation to Washington, he said 
Saturday, only to have it turned down fcy Federal Admin- 
istrator Harry L. Hopkins on the ground that it would in- 
crease administrative expenses. That attitude is difficult to 
understand in a program wherein such vast sums of mon^ 
are being spent with such a liberal hand. The weekly 
wage plan worked out all right under both the CWA and 
ERA. except for the last couple of months under the lat- 
ter program, and it could and should be made effective 
again for the benefit of the WPA workers. Governqi Cur- 
ley, Congressman John W. McCormack and others are 
urging the change upon the national administrator, and 
the move is such a meritorious one that it deserves all of 
the support that Massachusetts can muster behind it.

Lawrence will be well represented tonight at the 
Hotel Lenox in Boston when the second semi-annual 
dinner of the Massachusetts Scholastic Sports Writ- 
ers' Association is held. 

In addition to representatives of the local daily 
journals, members of the championship 1934 football 
team will be on hand, together with Faculty Manager 
John W. Kennedy and Coach Mark H. Devlin, Jr. 

The association was formed a couple of years ago 
but got its first good start last year. Since that time 
it has gone fonvard with a rush and has members 
from all parts of the state. Those on hand tonight 
will be made charter msmbers of the organization. 

Paul V. Craigue of the Boston Globe staff, a per- 
sonable and energetic cuss, who will be remembered 
as the gentleman who presented the most valuable 
player award to Henry Ouellette, the diminutive Law- 
rence star, at the banquet eriven the local champ'on- 
ship eleven a year ago. Mr. Craigue made the trip 
from Boston to present the shield and to also honor 
the local eleven. 

Toni<'ht that same squad will hold places of hon- 
or at the banouet, together with the champions of the 
school football world of this past fall, and the baseball 
chamnions of last gpring. 

It is expected that some 300 snorts followers, writ- 
ers, coaches, and olavers w')l be in attendance. Gov- 
ernor James M. Ciirlgy will grace the occasion with 
his presence and will ma'<e n^" o' the nresent^^'ons.

He Is Moses H. Guleslan, 71. who 
a year ago created a kidnap scare 
when he disappeared from his pa- | 
latial Chestnut HIII home. He was 
found in a New Tork Bowery mi;^- 
sion, an amnesia victim. 

In announcing his candidacy ''to 
promote a auccesBfui conclualo.i 
'he Townsend plan," nu:e.?lan said 
he would not run in the primaries 
but would seek votes as an inde- 
pendent in the election, assuring a 
three-cornered contest. 

Gulesian's financial dlffioulti'-s 
were disclosed by his disappearance 
Although as a rea'.tor he once 
dealt in hundreds of thousands oi 
dollars, he was found to havf been 
living on »5 a week despite his res-

showplace opposite Boston college. 
Gulesian has voted the Repub 1-

According to Representative Phil- 
ip G. Bowker of BrookUne the good 
old firm of CurJ^y & Goodwin »s 
still doing business at the old stand, 
this time with the idea of making 
the junior partner "an assistant 
candidate for U. S. senator" to draw i 
votes from the Republican aspirant 
and leave a chance for Curley to go 
charging through the breach to vic- 
tory. This is hotly denied of course 
by Mr. Goodwin, and presumably by 
Governor Curley. Mr. Goodwin says 
he is satisfied with his job as reg- 
istrar of motor vehicles and Is not 
a candidate for any political office. 
However, one learns a little some- 
thing from history despite the 
adage; and it is not altogether un- 
precedented for Mr. Goodwin to be- 
come an eleventh hour candidate as 
an "independent" when the tempta- 
tion proves too strong to resist, so 
that no doubt a few will share the 
suspicions voiced by Mr. Bowker. 
That it would make much difference 
this time may be questioned. This 
sort of play worked well enough in 
1934, but the opposing team may be 
"onto it" in i936 and avoid the pos- 
sibility of making it lead to another 
Curley touchdown. Meantime the 
governor fulminates heroically 
against his registrar, who persists 
in making speeches to striking la- 
borers and taking time off the Job 
to meddle with things remote from 
the conduct of his office. "Mr. Good- 
win must cease these activities or 
resign," is the ultimatum. Our 
guess is that, if he does resign, Mr. 
Goodwin will speedily become a can- 
(lidate for something, because he us- 
ually does. It is also quite in char- 
acter for governors to assail Mr. 
Goodwin. The latter felt the suc- 
cessive displeasures of Messrs. Ful- 
ler and Ely. Whether that of Cur- 
ley la entirely Ingenuous remains to 
be seen.

confirmed as city treasurer in the 
Archambault administration, Gover- 
nor .James M. Curley, in all proba'- '

bett, former mayor and a Democrat, 
to succeed Blazon. 

It was revealed to the LRADER 
today by well int'ornaed circles that 
the governor plans to make the com- 
mis.sion 100 per cent Democratic. 
Edmund M. Cluin, chairman, and 
Hon. John E Drury, present mem- 
ber.s of the commission, are both 
Democrats. 

Local RepubUcans, however, are 
said to be bringing heavy pres.sure 
on the governor to name a Repub- 
lican, preferably Henry V. Charbon- 
neau, a former city solicitor. 

Another candidate mentioned is J. 
Joseph Hennessy, a Democrat, for- 
mer city auditor and city solicitor, 
who was an avowed can(ii(iate for 
the position several months ago 
when Mr. Cluin was named by the 
governor to succeed the late Ed-

Mr. Corbett is well known in local

Robert T. Bushnel, former

temptlngf a dictatorship while ad- 
dressing 400 men and women last 
nlgrht jf a meeting of the East 

X<ynn Brothcriiood in East ijynn 
Odd Fellows hall. 

"He is tall ng a page out of 
Huey Long's book" Bushnell said, 
"and he intends to rennve three 
Justices of the supreme court. iJn- 
der the law the governor has the 
the right to remove justices o£ 
ttdvanced age and he is the .ludge 
ot advanced age today. He wo ud 
dismiss competent officials and re- 
placing them vvlth men who 
would do his bidding. 

"Gov. Curley Is on his way to

PROPOSE ABOLITION OF 
I [ STATE TAX ON TOWNS 

! Curiey and Lor.g Said to Favoi 
Move; Cut in State Outlays 
Is Advocated 



Troposed abolition of the state 
tax on cities and towns, as re- 
ported favored ai Boston by Gov- 
eruor James M. Curley und State 
Conimissloner of Corporations and 
Taxation Henry F. Long, is meet- 
ing with apiaoval by many others 
who feel thnt the state should not 
Impose the burden that it does 
on communities of the state, 
largely because of the alleged ex- 
travagance e.terclsed on Beacon 
Hill, and for which the cities and 
towns should not he looked to 
for so much support. The state 
tax on cities and towns varies 
according to the amount of 
money the »t;ite is in need of to 
begin to pay its blllF. 

However, It is felt that if the 
gtate should relieve the cities 
and towns of the state tax bur- 
den, that It would not be long 
before th.f staie would be with- 
holding more of the money to 
which the communities we now 
entitled, such as income tax and 
corporation tax returns. Already 
It is declared that the state has. 
In the l.ist two ytars, taken 
away something lliie »2, 300,000, 
which the cities and towns would 
ordinarily receive. 

An argument against the stat» 
Ux 18 that the state Is spending 
out of proportion to cities and . 
towns. The latter, it is recalled, , 
have been asked to ecouoraize, | 
but it bus j<lnce been found that ; 
they have cut down expenses I 
just about as much as they po»- ■, 
sibly can, and the real nted of 
economy is to be found on the \ 
part of the state and federal gov- 
ernmenth. 

It has been noted that tax- 
payers' associations arc no longer 
very active, so far a^ local affairs 
are concerned, but the taxpayers' 
associations of the slate are going 
to concentrate more ihan ever on 
the state expenses. 

Nortbamtpon ts In good finan- 
cial condition and, with a perma- 
nent debt of only ai'proxiinately 
$130,000, it is considered by 
state authorities as virtually out 
of debt. Last spring the city 
budget was cut sharply and the 
tax rate was kept down to the 
same as last year. Toward the 
end of the year it was neceuBary 
to make a number of transfers, 
but this is customary, because of 
unforeseen conditions in some do 
pnrtments, and also the impos- 
sibility of estimating long in ad- 
vance Just how much a depart- 
ment is going to need.

BOSTON, Dec. 30— Introduced to 
several hundred pei\=;ons in East 
Lynn Odd Fellows Hall, Lynn, as a 
candidate for the Republican nomi- 
nation for Governor, Attorney Rob- 
ert T. Bushnell, former District At- 
toi-ney of Middlesex County, vigor- 
ously liiRhed Governor Curley's ad- 
ministration as a "second Long re- 
gime" and predicted as the climax- 
ing act in the effort to set up a 
dictatorship in this State the re- 
moval of throe jiisticcs of the Su- 
preme Court and replacing them 
with Curley followers. 

Although Attorney Bushnell fail- 
ed to confirm the pointed refer- 
ence to him as a candidate for 
Governor, he stated he mifrht have 
something to say along this line 
later, but in the meanwhile was 
busy with his law practice. 

Attorney Bushnell's attack on 
Governor Curley's administration 
was scathing. 

He likened conditions in Ma.ssa- 
chusetts as approaching those 
which existed in Louisiana at the 
outset of the Long administration. 
In his plan to build up a com- 
plete Curley organization, the Gov- 
ernor has removed competent men 
from office, Bushnell charged, add- 
ing there have been appointed in 
their places men who would do the 
Governor's bidding. 



Some Resolutions 

Let's all hold up our right 
hands and make the following 
New Year's resolutions: 

That we will join some sports- 
man's club this coming year and 
help it in all its activities. 



NEWS 
Newburypoit, Mass. 

DEC 3 1935 



That we will do all that we can 
to encourage clean, honest sport. 



Mr. Bigelow says, and rightly, 
that things are in a critical con- 
dition In the department, but if 
we are going to straighten It out, 
we must correct all mistakes. And 
the fact that we have made the 
same mistake several times must 
not stand in the way of our cor- 
recting it now. And that Is why 
a large proportion of the sports- 
men of Hampshire county want 
someone else than Raymond J. 
I Kenney as director. 



Of course, we must take peo- 
ple as we find them, and If Mr. 
Bigelow has any good reason for 
backing Mr. Kenney, he has a 
perfectly good right to do so. But 
that Is no reason why we should 
have to love him, too. 



That we 'w'lll never uphold any- 
one who wilfully does damage to 
the property of any laud-owner, 
and to do all we can to see that 
those so doing be reasonably 
punished. That we will co-operate 
with whatever warden we are 
called to deal with and report all 
violations to him at once. 



That we will stand back of the 
department .jfirhen it is right and 
will work just as hard against it 
when we feel it is wrong. 



That we will always think of 
the other fellow and try to leave 
some fish and game for him. 



Happy New Year, and mav 
1936 be just the best year ever.

Asloed if he was surprised that 
Smith is reported to have declined 
the invitation extended to him by 
President and Mrs. Roosevelt the 
former Govi3rnor of this Common-

three years to con.si(lt with him 
about State and National affairs 
and they never once asked his 
opinion about a thing. Why should 
they start now?" When asfcsd what 
he thought Mr. Smith would say

The scramble for the seat in the 
Fall River Police Commission va- 
cated through the death of Henry F. 
Nickcrson last week, continued over 
the w§ek-end when two more candi- 
dates for the job came into the field. 

The latest aspirants for the post 
are William M. Aylward and William 
A. Dwycr. Both are described as 
ardent Cu rley workers, with Ayl- 
ward picture3"as the leader for the 
present Governor in Ward Four dur- 
ing the last campaign. Mr. Dwyer, a 
foreman in the street department, 
was also allied with Mayor Alexan- 
der C. Murray in his successful fight 
for election. 

Some observers see the probability 
of no immediate action toward fill- 
ing the vacancy. Much pulling and 
hauling will be done in favor of the 
several announced and secret candi- 
dates with various arguments ad- 
vanced for selection.

Says Curley Is 
To Remove Three 
In Supreme Court 

Robert T. Bushnell Tells His 
Lynn Audience Judges to 
Be Retired, to Be Replaced 
With "Incompetents" 

Warning that Gov. Curley, "as a 
disciple of Huey Long." is planning 
to establish a dictatorship in Massa- 
chusetts came la.st night from Robert 
T. Bushnell. former Mlclclle.sex district 
attorney, in addrcs.sing 400 men and 
women of the East Lynn brotherhood 
in Odd Fellows hall. East Lynn. 
] "He is taking a page out of Longs 
book and he intends to remove three 
I Justicer, of the supi-eme court," said 
'Bushnell. "Under the law, the gov- 
ernor ha.s the right to remove Justiijc,'; 
! 'o! advanced age.' and he is the 
j judge of advanced age. He is dis- 
..lissing competent officials and re- 
I p ucing them with incompetents who 
I V. ill do his bidding. 
{ "Gov. Curley Is on his way to 
I A reck the state as he wrecked the 
I .ill of Boston, He's moved the City 
' lall to the Stale hou.se where his fol- 
' lowers swarm the corridors, as they 
did in City liall when he was mayor." 
Bushnell turned to Eugene B. 
Fi-aser, Republican veteran member 
of governor's councll.s. He pointed a 
firm finger at Fra.ser and said. 
"There's the man who couldn't be 
tMught by .Jim Curley or any other 
governor, or given a judgeship," 

Although Bu.'dmell was expected 
by .some partisans to announce his 
candidacy for the Republican nomi- 
nation as governor last nlglit. he 
failed to do .so. He merely .smiled 
when introduced by Medley T, Holds-

no penalty, Dr Samufii Eliot Mon 
son, professor of history at Harvard, 
has been attacking the law before 
the conference of the American 
Catholic Historical association. Dr 
Morison is not easily thrown off his 
balance and probably his apprehen- 
sion has been aroused less by the 
actual terms of the statute than 
by the spirit shown by its sponsors 
and by their selection of an objec- 
tive in their drive. Teachers, public 
and private, in his view, are now 
attacked through forced oaths of 
super-loyalty, but this may be only 
the first phase — the prelude to an 
attack on a broader front. 

At ail events, in the professor's 
opinion, "what has happened to edu- 
'cation in Italy and Germany may 
•happen here." No one, probably, 
■would take him seriously were not 
the sponsors of the oaths that are 
forced by special enactments on a 
selected group, already bound by \ 
their allegiance, so insistent and i 
even truculent in challenging the 
patriotism of all who dislike the I 
tendency. ! 

Dr Morison evidently dLslikes this \ 
particular oath all the more be- 
cause he connects it with a broader 
trend that he discerns:— 

We are now in the midst of a 
Btiuggle to maintain liberty in 
the teaching of the social scl- 
eiiccs. [he said], Organized wealth 
and the state threaten the free- 
dom of learned men and women 
in our schools and colleges to 
teach what they believe to be the 
truth and to adju.st the rising 
generation to a changing world. 
The political leviathan is seek- 
ing to devour everyone who 
acknowledges a higher loyalty to 
truth than the state and at the 
same time, as we may .(udgo from 
certain papers, the economic oc- 
topus is trying to strangle every 
free man that it r.annot buy. 



the body of the people, being 
necessary for the preservation of 
their rights and liberties: and as 
these depend on spreading the 
opportunities and advantages of 
education in the various parts of 
the country, and among the dif- 
ferent orders of the people, it 
shall be the duty of Legislatures 
and magistrates, in all future 
periods of this commonwealth, to 
cherish the interests of literature 
and the sciences, and all semi- 
naries of them; especially the 
university at Cambridge, public 
schools and grammar schools In

union church service 



West Sprinsfleld, Dec. 30 — Gov 
James M. Curley's replacement of 
capable state oflicials with his own 
"yes men" soon after his inaugura- 
tion uau the most sip,nific:int polit- 
ical development in .Massachusetts in 
l!i35, Henry S. Johnston, cheirman of 
■West Sprinalield board of selectmen, 
declared last night before a group 
attending ;i union service at the Mit- 
tineague .Methodist church. 

Mr Johnston, as one of 10 speak- 
ers reviewing the most significant 
events of 1935, said, "The Kly 'nen 
at the state house were by no means 
saints, but they are not to be men- 
tioned in the same brrerth with 
Curley men. Curley threw out men 
long in public service and filled the 
offices with 'yes men.' " 

Atty Frank .\uchter cited the 
supreme court deci.sion against the 
constitutionality of the NR.\ as the 
most significant event in the field 
of law. John R. Kausey, superin- 
tendent of sciiodls in West Spring- 
field, declared that in the field of 
education, the entianco of the fed- 
eral sovernment into the recreational 
and adult education field.s was the 
most important development of the 
year. Walter Bonney of the staff of 
The Siiringtield Republican em- 
phasized the permanency of the 
newspaper in reporting national and 
international events compared with 
the transitory aspects of the radio. 
The year \'J"o, he said, witnessed 
ttie development of interpretive writ- 
ifig as seen in the widespread devel- 
ojiment of politiral columnists, i)ut 
warned against the po.ssible use of 
such columns tor ptirposcs of prop- 
jvganda. 

Year's .Slrliles In Seleiiee 

In discu.ssing the field of youth, 
L» B, Twist, director of the Com- 
mlinity "Y" in West Si>rlngfield 
said that the depression has caused 
the youth of the country to think 
for themselves and to question the 
order of things. Irving S. Cole of 
the staff of the Springfield ['ubiic 
library, substituting for Rev .\rthur 
Keiinel who was ill, cited "It Can't 
Happen Here," by Sinclair Lewis, 
".North to the Orient," by Anne 
Morrow Lindbergh, "Mary Queen of 
Scots," by Stefan Zweig and "I'er- 
eonal History" by Vincent Sheean an 
some of the most important Iwoka 
published in 1935. 

Otis E. Hall, secretary of the 
Hampden County Improvement league, 
a.>«scrted that the farmers' new vindcr- 
standing of market control in re- 
lation to [iroduction was the chief 
development in the field of agricul- 
ture in 1!I35. i\!i.ss Loui.sc Mace, 
dramatic critic of The Springfield 
Republican, deplored the sub.sidizlng 
of the stage by motion iilcture pro- 
ducers and the establishment of n 
national theater by the federal gov- 
ernment. She r>aid tribute to Will 
Rogers who died during the past

9,29ers' Speaker Sees 
Reason for Optimism In 
I Better Business Conditions 



' ) 



At their regular meeting, yester- 
day morning, the Congregational 
9.29ers had the opiwrtunity ot hear- 
ing a summary of some of the ma- 
jor events of 1935 by one who s 
In a position to know them mt - 
mately and well, William Alcott, li- 
brarian of the Boston Globe. 

Mr. Alcott prefaced his remarks 
by the statement that while the 
world as a whole face.-; situations 
more serious than for a g^eat many 
years, there is one excellent re_ason 
for optimism-namely, the definite 
improvement in business and indus- 
try with which the year closes. 

speaking of world affairs he 
found real cause for alarm in the 
European developments which have 
grown out of Italy's war against 
Ethiopia-the strained relations be- 
tween Great Britain and Italy, the 
question of sanctions enforced by 
the League of Nations against Italy, 
and the crisis which is imminent m 
|?ance as to what attitude that na- 
S.n shall take. As ^ar as actual 
military operations by Italy in Ethi- 
opia are concerned, he believes 
S^at Italy is beginning to feel the 
^th of the .statement that "an 
armv marches on its belly ■ 

™he treatment accorded the Jews 
in Germany by the Hitler govern- 
ment 15 regarded by Mr. Alcott a.-, 
ju.st as serious as thase previously 
mentioned. He called particular at- 
f fpr,Hnn to the resignation of 
STM^cDonald, I-ague °f Na 
I lions' commissioner for the Jews, 
as a protest against the persecution 
'of this race in Germany. 

1935 had more than the usual 
number of tragedies, among which 
he listed the following: 

l^e deaths of Wiley Post and 
Will Rogers. , . , „ ,., 

The sinking of the Mohawk with 
;the loss of 34 lives. 

The Florida hurricane which 
took a toll of 400 lives. 
The loss of the Macon. 
The assassination of Huey Long. 
The probable deaths of the avi- 
ators, Lincoln Ellsworth and Kings- 
ford-Smith, who have not been 
heard from for many weeks. 

Among the many deaths have 
been those of: 

Oliver Wendell Holmes, who left 
his estate to the national govern- 
ment. 



Greeley, the Arctic explorer. 
Oueen Astrid of Belgium, who lo.st 
he? we in an automobile accident. 
Lawrence of Arabia. | 

Rillv Sunday, the evangelist. | 

Smrther events of unusual, 



Jane Addams, the nation's out- 
standing woman. 

Adolph Ochs, publisher of the 
New York Times. 



news interest and importance were: 
-The Hnuptmann trial and convic- 

'^'°The Lindberghs' departure from 
the country. 
The stratosphere flight. 
The $4,800,000,cnO appropriation 
ibiU. the largest in American histo.X 
' Tlie spectacular rise to lame and 
fortune of Joe Louis. . 

The supreme Court decision 
which ended the N. R. A. 

Mr. Alcott .said there had been , 
two outstanding examples c. tne 
political power of the people of the | 
nation— the over-night deleut oi ; 
the%olicy of united States jommg 
the world court, as favored by 
Prlsident Roosevelt, and the failure, 
to override the Roo.sevelt veto ol 
the bill for immediate payment ot i 
the bonus. This power was display- j 
ed by a tremendous flood of tele- i 
grams which poured in on senators , 
Ind representatives, a truly remark- 
able demonstration of the fact that , 
members of Congress occasionally 
pay some attention to the wishes of 
those who elect them. i 

In this state, he said, we have i 
seen the unconstitutional giving ol 
the oath to the Governor by the 
Secretary of State, and not by the 
President of the Senate. We have , 
seen the Governor's Council and the , 
Boston Finance Commission made 
over by legal, but undoubtedly ijo- 
litical, appointments. We have 
seen the end of a famous murder 
trial with the execution of the Mil- 
ieu brothers and Faber, and we j 
have had the pa.s.sage of two bil s | 
' which have aroused great opposi- , 
tion, the teachers' oath bill and 
the flag-salute bill. 

Mr. Alcott was introduced by Wll- | 
liam E. Jones, who is also a mem- 
ber of the Boston Globe editorial 
,staiT. 

President Peter Myhre presided 
and told of some of the charitable 
work done by the 9.29crs at Chrl.st- 
mas time. 

The speaker, next Sunday, will be 
Ward Morrill on the .social .securi- 
ties act.

BOSTON, Dec. 3 0.— Warning that Governor Curley, "as a dis-

Bushnell. "Under the law, the Gov-

I the judge of the advanced age. He 
is dismissing competent officials and 
I replaciing them with incompetents who 
wUl do his bidding. 

"Gov. Curley is on his way to

WASHBURN'S WEEKLY 



JIM AND MR. HOOVER, to- 
night. Quite a chomeleon is 
Jim. On Tuesday morning, 
last, he sped onward the men 
whom he had paroled from the 
State Prison, with these words, 

in part; 

"Chris t m a s 
conveys, to ev- 
6 r y right 
thinking per- 
son, peace on 
earth, to men 
of good will." 
This is the 
way the words 
may read, that 

is in his 

Shakesperi a n 

ver.^ion of iho 

Script u r e s, 

but in my own 

they read: 

"Peace on 

earth, good 

will toward 

men." In this 
tumultuoup course 
peace 




the word 
ijccvv.. seems to mean, nften- 
er, a piece of meat. He went 
on: "Obey the laws and you 
will bo safe. If you violate the 
law.s, you must suffer the pen- 
alties. May God guide you, so 
that you will conduct yourself 
as ornaments to society rather 
than otherwise." If Jim keeps 
on freeing convicts, nothing 
can defeat him for the Senate 
♦ ♦ • 
Bayard Tuckciman, Jr.. that 
nationally known sportsman of 
Hamiltori, would tell you. that 
the tragedies of the track are 
to be found in those thorough- 
breds who could liave been 
landed winners, had they fcllen 
into the hands of rkilled train- 
era. It is not the horse that 
does not win, because he can- 
not win. that hasn't it in him. 
y>ftt causes the sportsmen to 
L,«'%eep. It 16 the horse that could 
'^ h.ave won. had he been proper- 
ly handled. And there is the 
tragedy in James Michael Cur- 
ley, Few men have been mere 
gifted by Providence with in- 
tellectual and physical virility. 
He has gone far, that is in of- 
fices held, but he could have 
gone further:. I once said to 
him: "Jim, you can yet take 
your place among the five 
greatest men in the country, 
if you will earn the respect of 
a material part of the commu- 
nity, which, either with or 
without reason, you have ycl 
to get." He replied: "I don't 
want it." When I asked him 
why, he replied: "Those to 
whom you refer are the foes 
of the plain people." As I left 
him, I murnuired: "Pi.'Jh, boo 
md likewi.s<' hah." If thi.s man 



iKul .«H't hi.- compass by the 
north star of high purpose, he 
could have trotted In any com- 
pany. ^ ^ ^ 

In what he said to those 
paroled men. he was in his best 
fonn, which is very good form, 
although it mu.-t have excited 
some mirth on their part, well 
restrained, that he should have 
pictured himself to them as an 
ornament to society. This was 
his performance in the morn- 
ing of Tuesday, last. But thos-e 
same paroled men would have 
wondered, still more, could 
Ihey have seen him on that 
same afternoon, at 3,30, his car 
parked near the corner of 
Boylston and Arlington streets. 
in defiance of the traffic rules. 
Hessians of the store where he 
was then trading waved every- 
one out of the way who was 
lawfuUv on the street, that Jini 
might back his car out into the 
load, and proceed on his way 
Still Goodwin will not strike a' 
the hand that has fed him, Jim 
well knows. 



It was Calvin Coolidge, then 
r.overnor of Massachusetts, 
who said, when urged to ignore 
a traffic light: "The Governor 
nf Massachusetts should be the 
fli-."»t to respect the laws, for, if 
he does not, who will." And so 
pass on in this friendly analy- 
sis of James Michael Curley. 
He could kill the cause of pacif- 
ism. He could not only win the 
war for Ethiopia, but he could 
also enable that nation to in- 
vade and subjugate Italy. If he 
should issue a clarion call to 
the people of Mai?sachuset!s to 
enlist in this cause, the fight 
would be over. Every man. 
woman and child in Massachu- 
setts, and even bid-ridden dere- 
licts;, would spring to' arms, 
even if they could only tind a 
pitchfork. All this could be 
done and would be done, that 
is upon this one condition, that 
Jim would agree to lead this 
army into battle. And now turn, 
from the hair-brush and an in- 
verted stripling, to happier 
themeff. 

Herbert Hoover is the most 
effective Christian crusader 
there is. in the cause against 
the pocket-book in the White 
House. In his radio speeches he 
has improved, even over the 
good form that he showed in 
1932. His speeches are human- 
ly palatable. There is a touch 
of humor and effective satire 
ahoul thoni that marks the 
turn that he lias made. Never 



Again, in some of our C'*^"-" 
and■to^^^ls we have seen a n\^" 
who ha." made a success of the 
pop-corn business, of the carpet 
business, or of some other busi- 
ness. He has done this as Her- 
bert Hoover succeeded as an 
engineer. Then everybody sits 
up and pavs. why not make this 
man. who has made a success 
of his own business, mayor of ' 
our town. He is then made 
Mavor. To the surprise of 
those who are not politically 
cannv he is a failure. And 
why? Because he is not an 
adept in his human contacts. 
Here ie where Hoover falls, an- 
other reason why he should not 
be re-nominate'd. It is the 
politician who often makes the 
most of a success in public 
office, because he has learned 
the art of human contact. 



On an afternoon, some years 
past, three men sat in the Uni- 
versity Club in New York City. 
One "of them was Herbert 
Hoover. During the confer- 
ence that followed, one of the 
others ventured his opinion 
upon a certain subject. Hoover 
then observed: You do not 
know what you are talking 
about." After he had gone 
away, one of these men s-aid to 
the other: "Who is your 
fr'end?" He replied; ■Herbert 
Hoover." Then one vote was 
lost and in the same way 
many others have been lost. 

It was Calvin Coolidge who 
said at one time: "I do no- 
choose to run." It wai« Wil. 
Roger.s who said, as he was 
coming out of the delirium ot 
ether, that he had pictured 
himself upon some fan 
grounds, somewheie. Ever>'- 
bodv was running around the 
track, he said, except one lit- 
tle red-haired man who sat on 
the bleacher.; and said: "I do 
not choose to run," That state- 
ment of Coolidge-.-? puzzled 
everyone, which was just what 
it w'as meant to do. for it left 
him free, either to run or not 
to run. So the question is 
asked today; "Is Hoover seek- 
ing the nomination. inai 
question he has not yet an- 
s-wered. He says, that he i£ 
not a candidate. This moans 
nothing. Everyone else says 
this of his own candidacy, 
whether he is or is not a candi- 
date. 

Mr Hoover sfiotild take him- 
self out of the doubted class. 
in the only kind ot words that 
count, in the style set by Al 
Striith at one time: "I would 
not accept the nomination." 
Big as Hoover has been and 
Is, if he should take this step. 
then would he be great among 
patriots, and his efficiency in 
the cause would be augmented 
by an absence even of the sus- 
picion of self-Becking.

Battled for over a period of two 
decadet-. the Boston harbor ship 
channel widening project won out 

today. 

It will give Boston harbor a 
main channel greater than that of 
New York harbor. 

Today $1,000,000 In funds was 
allocated to the Boston Harbor 
project, according to word received 
from Washington by Frank S. 
Davis, manager of the Maritime 
A.-^.<--ocialion of the Boston Chamber 
of Commerce. 

The vrord came from Colonel 
John J. Kinsman. United Slates 
Army engineei-, in charge of this 
district, who said that the funds 
provided are ERA funds and not 
WPA. 

40-FOOT DEPTH 

The project rails for deeppnlnc; 
of the main ship channel from 
President lloads to Commonwealth 
Pier No. 1 (o a dept'- of ll> tctt a», 
mean low water and widening: of 
the channel to fiOfl feet. 

The New York main channel. 
Manager Davis explained today, af- 
ford.:; a maximum depth of only 
44'!: feet at high water, while at 
high water in Boston the main 
channel will afford a druw of 49 
feet. 

New York'.= tide rises only 4% 
feet, while that of Boston reaches 
nine feel. Davis said. 

PRAISES CUBLEY'S AIO 

When the TtTt'dging project Is 
completed, Boston, therefore, will 
have the deepest and most easily 
navigated channel on the Atlantic 
.-•caboard. 

"I am deeply gratified," nald 
Manager DavK, "In learn that 
thiH money has been given, be- 
cause 1! is a long-sought-for Im- 
provement. 

"Governor Curley, when mayor 
of Boston and since he has been 
governor, together with myself, 
has worked tirelessly to obtain 
this allotment of funds for the 
much-needed Improvement." 



BuT Still in Bed 

Governor Curley was still con- 
fined to his bed today but his con- 
dition was reported much better. 
The Governor has been suffering 
from a heavy cold.

announced his candidacy for the 
United States Senate "on the Town- 
send plan."

friend, he abjured mud-sllnglng. He 
said he felt the Town.send plan was 
practical. wherea.s the President's 
,5oclal security program, for which 
the Governor has been campaign- 
ing, was inadequate to cure depres- 
sion, provide comfort for old persons 
or reduce unemployment. 

HAS "AN rNDERSTANDlNG" 
A.-iked whether he had the back- 
ing of the Ma.<;sachusetts Townsend 
clubs, which claim 30,000 members 
and 275,000 signers of a petition to 
Congress, Gulesian said he had no 
"definite agreement, but we have a ; 
certain amount of \mderstanding." 
He said he would not enter either | 
the Republican or Democratic 
primaries, but expected no difficulty 
in obtaining the necessary signatures 
on nomination papers to run as an 
Independent. He did not discuss the 
report that Prank A. Goodwin. 
reilEtrar of motor vchicle.s would be 
a second independent candidate. 

Gulesian said that ever since he 
became naturalized he had been a 
Republican, except "hen he voted 
for Theodore Roosevelt on the Bun 
Moase ticket in 1912 and for Frank- 
lin D. Roosevelt in 1932.

His announcement followed a 
statement by Charles M. Hawks. 
state Townsend plan manager, that , 
the Townsendltes now controlled 
enough votes in this state to defeat 
Gov. Curley or anyone else who 
denounced Townsendlsm and e»- 
boused the President's social se- 
curity program. Hawks said that 
every time Curley spoke for .social 
security and denounced Town- 
sendism. the Townsendltes obtained

that if he retained his popularity 
with the ordinary voters a swing of

tion In lncom<> since his retirement 
from busine.vs would make him 
eligible to receive $200 a month 
granted under the Town.send plan to 
persons whose income was le.ss than 
tli.1t amount, Gulesian laughed and 
said, "I don't expect to be a recipi- 
ent. I hope I won't at any rate. I 
am supporting It because It Is a 
logical, workable, astute plan to help 
other people, and all I ask 1* that

from home in recent years. In 1934

confidence man, was Indicted for 
an alleged attempt to kidnap Gule-

Albany, N. Y., on a supposed busln«M

When Gulesian reported he had 
received threats on the telephone by 
persons pretending to be friend* of 
Mason, he was given a permit to 
carry a revolver.

Muzzling Free Speech 

Massachusetts' "freedom ol 
speech," even now gagged by the 
much-discussed teachers' oath law, 
may soon have another muzzle in 
the form ol a state stage control 

law. .„ „_ 

Representative Thomas Dorgan, 
author of the teachers' oath bill and 
Chief opponent of so-called "subver- 
sive propaganda,'- has P'oP°f<^^ "^^ 
Mage control law. over which a bat- 
Lie is certain to ensue. 

Hidden Significance 
TO those who fail to dig deeply into 
the bill's significance, the proposed 
law would appear to P«sent a , 
/worthy aim. the eleanmg up of the 
i stage. But conceding that the stage 
needs 'surging the Dorgan bill s so 
' broad t at it would even prevent the , 
iSig of classic plays, such as : 
I Hamlet as well as f '^■"Otis opera^. 

Whether the "^''^•''"'^''T " ^^ome 
o matter of conjecture, but. to some 
nelsons a Legislature which passed 

lTteachers'%ath bill cannot be 
^/;ued upon to turn its ^a^^ - ^^^ 
sfice-controT mea.sure. part>c""*.\'„ 
S it contains a ^<-^^^ 

■•subversive propaganda in the Unes 

°^11r"American Legion and the 
Hearst organization which pintAy 
"timated the pen that wrote the 
tPTchers' oath law in the staiuie 
LSma^supportthenew^I>organ 

legislation. If they do. the bih prob 

^ ablv will become law. inasmuch as 

during the teachers' oath battle the 

: two influences presented unbeatable 

strength. 

Fascism Charged 
The Dorgan proposal is ^ r^' 
t»„ tint the stage would piobabiy 
;; completely mtifzled. Undoubtedly 
the judges of what is indecent or 
subversive propaganda would be of- 
ficials eager for the stipport of | 
patriotic societies, such as the | 
American Legion. 

Opponents of both Dorgan -^meas- 
ures state they bear an odor of 
Fascism. These same opponents point 
out that Fascists have placed a 
rigid gag on free speech, just as the 
teachers' oath and the stage control 
bill are expected to do in Massa- 
chusetts.

Curley-Gootlwiu 'Battle' 

■fhe" Governor Curley-Frank A. 
Goodwin row over labor unions has 
revived the old charge that Registrar 
Goodwin :n the 1034 gubernatorial! 



battle was a "deceptive POl'"';^ . baU 
carrier" placed m the "game by Mr. 
Curlcv to 1001 some Republicans into 
aeserUng the G. O. P. and thus as 
sure Curley victory. 

Despite Registrar Goodwms ae 
nial that the latest Curley -Goodwin 
row is designed to pr^'d^^f " ^^e 
cuse for Mr. Goodwin to ent^^ the 
1936 senatorial or gubematon^i 
race against Governor Curley, sonie 
politicians believe there is a bit ol 
, truth in the charge fired by Repre- 
sentative Philip G. Bowker ol 
, Brookline. ._. 

These politicians believe the 1934 
rumor regarding Mr. Goodwins 
purpose in entering the 1934 guber- 
natorial list. Their belief is| 
^ bolstered by Governor Curley s ap- 
pointment of Mr. Goodwin to his 
former past of Registrar of Motor | 
Vehicles. 

Curley Needs Help 
These same onlookers insist the 
Governor will need all the help he 
can muster to win his next election 
fieht The help Mr. Goodwin could 
extend is considerable, for he s™ 
nearlv 100.000 votes, most of which 
come" from the Republican ranks. 
With Mr. Goodwin running as an 
independent. the.Governor's election 
might well be assured, despite Mr. 
curlev's reported loss of ixipulanty. 
Mr Goodwin, under orders from 
the Governor to cease his labor ac- 
"sities directed against the Ameri- 
I can Federation of Labor, the Gover- 
nor's friend, or resign, has said he 
' wuVnot be a candidate in the com- ■■ 
Uig election. But the skeptics have 
their ears close to the ground. 
Goodwin's Record 
Most persons do not expect Mr. 
Goodwin to cease his labor activities 
which have provided the backbone 
of his political strength. At the 
same time, those eager for safer 
highwavs in Massachusetts hope the , 
Registrar will remain in his state 

position. 

Even thase who criticize Mr. 
Goodwin's 1934 indei^endent election! 
fight as a curley aid agree that Mr^ 
Goodwin is one of the finest motor 
vehicle registrars in the country. He 
hns been able, through strict in- 
spectS to Induce the 1935 fatahty 
record well below that of 1935, al- 
though when he took office it ap- 
peared the record would exceed that , 
of the previous year. ^^^^^ ^ ^^

Ciirley Accused of Seeking 
^tate Dictatorship Through 
I Control of Supreme Court 



nrr. so i'dSS 

BUSHNELL I 
LASHB AT 
GOVERNOR 

Says He Is Planning 
to Remove Supreme 
I Court Justices 



Renewed charges that Governor 
Curley intends to establish a dic- 
tatorship in Massachusetts by con- 
trolling the Supreme Judicial Court 
persisted today on Beacon Hill. 
Political observers pointed out that 
a certain degree of immunitcy from 
judicial disapproval could be gained 
by such action. 

The Governor could establish a 
precedent by removing three of the 
oldest justices and substituting his 
own men, and at the same time he 
would control three out of the seven 
Supreme Court seats, it was sug- 
gested. This might be of great value 
to him should the Dolan ca.se. now 
under investigation in Boston, and 
in which the Governor is involvea, 
finally come before the State's 
highest tribunal. 

Constitutional Authority 
Authority to make such changes 
has been given to chief executives 
of Massachusetts under the Consti- 
tution, but it has been sparingly 
used since the court was established 
m 1775. An amendment to the 
State's basic law says: 

"The Governor, with the consent 
-If the council, may after due notice 
md hearing retire them llhe Su- 
preme Court Ju.stices) because of 
idvanced age, or physical or mental 
lisability." 

Invokefl Only Once 
Only once, in 1803, has this power 
leen invoked, according to Walter 
Fredericks, clerk of the court. In 



*->«■ f~\rr^-w%V>0 



that year Theopholis Bradley, a 
justice, was removed because of in- 
capacity to serve. All judges are ap- 
pointed by the Governor with 
advice and consent of the Council 
and hold office during good beha- 
vior. 

Advanced age is the charge that 
might be brought against three 
members of the bench in this in- 
stance, and one of these is the 
chief justice, Arthur P. Rugg. His 
two colleagues who have been men- 
tioned as subject to retirement are 
Edward P. Pierce and Jolm C. 
Crosby. All of the men are said to 
be past 70 years old and Justice 
Pierce is said to have reached the 
age of 82. 

Other Members 

The four other members of the 
court are Fi'ed T. Field, Charles H, 
Donahue. Henry T. Lummus and 
Stanley E. Qua. 

In Massachusetts the chief justice 
of the Supreme Court receives a 
salary of $15,000 a year. A.s.sociate 
justices are paid $14,000. 

Besides acting as a final court of 
appeal on all ca.ses of law in Ma.s.sa- | 
chiLsetts, the high bench al.so has i 
supervision over attorne.ys. It makas \ 
rules regarding the admission of 
lawyers to the bar. As an example of ' 
its powers, .special justices of district 
courts recently were prohibited from 
practicing in criminal cases. 
Power of Courts 
Sitting as a full bench the tri- 
' bunal acts ofBcially as the Supreme 
Court -sf the Commonwealth, but 
justices also sit singly as the Su- | 
preme Court of counties in certain i 
cases of equity. The Chief Justice ; 
does not participate in these county 
courts. ' j 

Advl.sory opinions on the consti- 
tutionality of propo,sed legislation . 
are issued by the full bench of the i 
, court. Ordinarily three or four deci- ' 
sions of this character are made 
annually. 



Introduced to several hundred per- 
sons in East Lynn Odd Fellows Hall, 
Lynn, yesterday afternoon, as a 
candidate for the Republican nomina- 
tion for Governor, Attorney Robert 
T. Bushnell, former district attorney 
of Middlesex County, vigorously 
lashed Governor Curlcy's administra- 
tion as a "second Long regime" and 
predicted as the climaxing act in the 
effort to set up a dictatorship in this 
State the removal of three justices of 
the Supreme Court and replacing 
them with Curley followers. 



FAILS TO CONFIRM IT 

Although Attornty Bu.slinell failed to 
tondrm the pointed reference to him 
us a candidal* for Governor, h« stated 
he might have something to say along 
this line later, but in the meanivhile 
■wa,>i hiiav with his law practice. 

Attorney IVIeaiey T. Holdsworth of 
l,ynn, who presided at the meeting and 
who announced last week that Mr, 
Bushnell would announce his candidacy 
at the Lynn meeting, told reporters 
after the meetlnit that he was confident 
Bushnell would be a candidate for the 
nomination. 
Attorney Bushnell'a attack on Gov- 
ernor Curley'a administration was 
scathing. 

Ho likened conditions !n Massachu- 
setts as approaching those which ex- 
isted in Louisiana at the outset of the 
Long administration. 

Says Competent Men Fired 

In his plan to build up a complete 
Curley organization, the Governor lias 
removed coinprtint men from office, 
Bushnell charged, addinc there have 
been aiipointed in their plHcf.,s men who 
wojild do the Governor's bidding, 

KuKene B. Praser, former member of 
the (Governor's Counfil, who wa,s on the 
platform, was directly reforrerl to by 
Bushnell, who declared that had Fraser 
been a member of the pre.scnt council 
h* would not have been "bought up" 
In any scheme to promote the present 
Governor's grip on the .State. 

The speaker asserted that the Gover- 
nor as a "flnal windup" In hl.i plan "to 
thrust a dictatorship on the .State," In- 
tends to remove three .lustlces of the 
Supreme Court and appoint those who 
will how to his will. 

The meeting was held under the aus- 
pices Of the East Lynn Brotherhood 
and Ladles- Auxiliary, an organization 
which maets .Sunday for religious pur- 
poses undar the guidance of the Rev 
Laurence Breed Walker, minister with- 
out a pulpit.

Period of Happiness Ended 

Then their blissful period of happiness 
terminated. She said it was partly 
due to family Interference because 
thev were of different religions, but 
that more especially it was because of 
fal.«e friends, who turned Logan Into 
a heavy drinker. 

He sold out his own business and 
affiliated himself with another com- 
pany. He drank hard, sot into trouble 
and lost his position. 

"That broke his heart." she said. 
"He disappeared. In the meantime I 
had to give up our little home and go 
back 10 my people and go to work. 

"Proud and Obstinate" 

"I continued in F.ast Boston and he 
lived a shiftless, aimless sort of lite in 
Boston. I heard about him through 
friends. One said that there was some- 
thing mysterious about his trouble. He 
almost told him what it was once. 
Then he shut his mouth and refused 
to talk. He was proud and obstinate 
and from what I hear he became 
eccentric and drank too much." 

As for Mrs. Logan, she was hurt 
and stunned by the tragedy that 
wrecked her married lite. .She worked 
in uepartrnent stores and earned good 
pay. She kept on hoping that some 
da.v her husband would come back to 
her, turn a new leaf and that they 
could begin life over. She continued 
to care for him, and does even now 
i after all these years. 

Scrubbed in Public Buildings 

But if the years transformed her hus- 
I band, they also transformed her. She 
I had to keep house for her mother and 
she maintained a home for her. But 
with advancing age, the nice and well 
paid .jobs were hard to get. She 
scrubbed in public buildings. For a tlm.e

I was hard, the money small, hut she

'■Join Record Plan 
j Stop Slaughter 

In vit-w of the appalling num- 
ber of men, women and children 
slaughtered or crippled by auto- 
1 mobiles everv year, and convinced 
I that driving can only become as 
safe as drivers make it, the Uauy 
' Record offers a simple and effec- 
' live step foi ward the solution of 
a problem which has become 
national. 

The Uailv Record offers its plan 




Frank Ooodwin Com. Mc.S««»iiey 



in the belief that unles.'? the driv- 
ing public itself takes the re- 
simnsibility for safety on the roads • 
into its own hands, drastic laws 
will be enacted which will rob 
motoring of much of its joy and 
convenience. 

Here is the Daily Record pro- 
posal; 

I^>fs all — everyone of us — become 
safety conscious. 

How can each one become safety 
conscious? 

First, by having: the need of 
»afety Impressed <>ontisnially on uli 
drivers of cars. 

r To help in this respect, the Dally 
'(Record is preparing attractive 
j stickers to be placed on every car 
i where not only the driver, but all 
other diivers may .=ee it. 

.Se<'iMidly, by having each driver 
personally pledge himself to drive 
s.ifely at all times and in all places. 
An executive committee of promi- 
nent persons will soon be appointed I 
to direct the organization of safe 
diivers who. by their pledge, will 
lircome members of the DRIVK 
y/iFELY CLUB. 

Copies of the safety pledge are 
pilnted in this edition. 

Safety stickers will be sent to 
ev«rvone signing the pledge on 
receipt of a stamped, self-addressed 

envelope. , ^ ■ ., , 

The iiledgee should be signed and 
niniled to the Safety Kditor, Daily 
Record, P. O. Box 2228, Boston. 



In the interest of accident prevention and ^afer motor 
car driving conditions on Boston and New England htgh- 
;;' and in co-operation with the Boston Daily Record. 
I am making the following pledge. 

1. To drive at moderate speed in my pro,Hr traffic 
lane or on my own side of road. 

2. Not to pass cars or other vehicles on curves 
or hills. 

3. To stop at stop signs. 
4 Not to jump traffic lights. 
-. To be particularly watchful for pedestrians 

stepping into traffic from parked cars or from 
Uhind parked cars. 
6 Always to hand signal showing intention of 
turning left, right or stopping, .-.nd not to Uavc 
curb without looking and giving a signal. 

7. To refrain from reckless driving. 

8. To be fair to other drivers in all respects.

"If every driver would J>|£*jf^

the absolute minimum." j

the Record safety drive said; 

"When more tliaii ;<0,0«0 men, 
women and children are killed 
and more than i,(KH),(K)0 injured | 
m a year, and when it appears 
that "this is a continuous per- ; 
forniance, it certainly betomes a 
major prolilem worse than any 
war, because wars sometimes end 
and the slaughter and maiming 
by automobiles seems to have no 

end. ... 

"It is impossible to estimate 
the terrible suffering and sorrow 
that comes from death and in- 
jury caused i>y automobiles, to 
say nothing of the enormous 
financial cost. 

"In every city in the country, 
hospitals are filled to capacity 
with the victims of reckless, care- 
less or drunken driving." 

Police Commr. Euge.ne M. JAr- 
Sweeni'v. indorsing the Daily Rec- 
ord Safety Drive, pledged his full- 
co-operation. 

'It is not only timely, but es- 
sential that sonie'hing be done 
that nutomobile drivers fix in- 
delibly in their minds their i-.wful 
responsibility. I think the Daily 
Record campaign will do much 
to effectively reduce the number 
killed bv accidents in the sate.

see that ISoslon does its part in 
I making the streets and highways 
Siife for automobilists and pedes-

acsire to justify what Mr. But^hneli pre- 
dicts to bo the intention of the governor 
to remove certain judges. The governor 
I need^ no defense. am not in h'^ /^oii- 
i fidence sufficiently to know what h.s in- 
tention is. but If Mr. Bushnell can cite no 
other evidence of dictatorship proclivities 
on the part of Mr. Cuiley then his rant- 
in-'s are not worthy of serious consider- 
ation from any sensible citizen. There

Well, ho couldn't gel them from MA-

Smith, as a potential elaimant for tlfu i 

part of the transatlantic air route that 

may run from Xew York to Boston, is in

ITownsend Movemeint Slate Manager 
Denies Gulesian Endorsed for Senate 



"mwksnotapoutician 

proach it with an open mind. 



Angry denial that the. state Town- 
send movement has endorsed the 
candidacy of Moses H. Gulesian, 71. 
of 85 Commonwealth avenue, for the 
Senate, came today irom the state 
manager, Charles M. Hawks. 
although ^l the same time he 
allowed that substantial support 
would probably accr\ic to the elder!;; 
real estate operator from Townsend 
club members. 

NO PROMISES MADE 
Gulesian, Hawks said, is a Town- 
send club member. 

"He is a boaster of the Townsend 
cau.se. But this movement cannot 
endorse any candidacies. We have I 
(denied endorsement to Gulesian, in 

writing." said Hawks. 
"The Townsend movement v,m 

support at the polls those who sup- 
port the Townsend plan, but we 

make no promises to any candidate, 

he continued. 
Gulesian came to America as an 

immigrant Armenian boy and won 

and lost a fortune in Boston thea rl- 

cal and real e.state ventures. He has 

been a Republican .since he became I __ ^,j^^

second disappearance, during which 
he was missing seven days, is stiu 
unexplained. 
GULESI.'VNS ANNOVNCEMENT 
In announcing his candidacy, 
Gulesian said he and the Townsend 
movement leaders "have a certain 
amount of understanding, and that 
he expected the support of the 30,000 
members and 275,000 petition sign- 
ers whom the Townsend movement 
claim in this state. 

Hawks, however, would only agree 
that he will have "the kindliest feel-

clares that he had Indeed been told 
that Mr. Gulesian wishes to run in

SOMEWHAT INCENSED | 

People's Editor; 

For the last 12 years, since 
graduation from high school I 
have read your paper regularly, 
believing that your editorials 
were written in a fair and im- 
partial manner by a person (or 
persons^ who had a broad sense 
of understanding or human 
problems and a serious desire to 
point out weaknesses in our 
I political setup. However, I feel 
' very much perturbed over your 
editorial, "The Governor and the 
Children." 

For many years I have known 
Mr SReardon, the new commis- 
sioner; he has always had my 
respect and admiration by virtue 
of the fact that he is upright 
and courageous in all public 

dealings. ^. . ,. ^. 

Your editorial mentionea that 
he had reached his peak of 
achievement as superintendent 
of the schools of Adams, Mass.; 
that is not to his discredit, for 
he was rewarded for honest 
effort and natural ability. 

He is a family man, and I am 
sure that he will do no injustice 
to small children, whose life 
1 training is left to his wise guid- 
ance. If you were to take the 
time to verify thes^facts and so 
report them you would do Mr. 
Reardon the justice that fairness 

demands. n, *■ t 

This is the first time that i 
have ever expressed my opin on 
of a newspaper editorial to the 
person responsible; believe it or 
not, I take no pleasure in so 
doing.

i CURLEY WITHDRAW 
GOODWIN ULTIMATUM 



Registrar Gets 
Clean Bill On 
Labor Actions 



Demand That He Re- 
tire from One Job or 
Other Revoked After 
Conference 

Boston, Dec. 31 (/?)— Frank A. 
Goodwin will continue to be Mas- 
sachusetts registrar of motor ve- 
hicles and furthermore will con- 
tinue as an adviser of the Brock- 
ton Brotherhood of Shoe and Al- 
lied Craftsmen. 

Gov James M. Curley today 
withdrew a demand that Goodwin 
retire either from labor activity 
or his state office, and voiced his 
approval of both activities. 

Governor Curley said today, 
"after making a thorough inves- 
tigation of his (Goodwin's) acti- 
vities in the field of shoe manu- 
facturing I am convinced that 
there is justification for the posi- 
tion he has taken. 

'The conditions that obtain in 
Brockton are in striking contrast 
to conditions obtaining in the in- 
dustry in other sections of the 
commonwealth, notably in Lynn 
and HaverhUl x x x. 

"Under the circumstances, with 
a realization of the valued services 
rendered by Mr. Goodwin as regis- 
trar or" motor vehicles and the 
equally valuable services that he 
haa been rendered an important 
basic industry, there is no way in 
which I could justify any course 
other than to continue him as 
registrar." - 



I Goodwin, an adviser of the 

< Brockton Brotherhood of Shoe ana 
Alied Craftsmen, recently sug- 
gested to Haverhill shoe workers 
that they organize a similar union. 
He criticized the Boot and Shoe 

i workers union which jecent y 
signed contracts with HaverhiU 
manufacturers as not truly repre- 
senting the workers. 

A protest from the Boot and 
Shoe workers' union to the gov- 
ernor resulted in the ultmia,tum 

' to the registrar who later said he 
: never valued any job so highly 
i that lie would permit Ls to inter- 
i fere witii his rights of free speech 
I and action.

BOSTON, Dec. 31 (INS)— "I have

tion of his activities in the field of

vinced there is justification for the 
position he has taken," said Gov- 
eruor James M. Curley this after- 
noon after a conference with the 
registrar of motor vehicles, who he 
hod suggested resign it he did not 
keep out of labor troubles. 

The governor said he would con- 
tinue GuoUwin aa registrar.

today, following three days' confine- 
ment in bed with a cold. Governor 
James M. Curley summoned Regis-

Political Grab Bag 



■By Thomas K. B r i n d I e y 



More Promises Due Tomorroic — 

His Kxcellency, James Michael Omley, Governor of the Com- 
monwealth of Massachusetts, will deliver an address tomorrow at 
the 1936 opening of the Great and General Court of this State. It 
will be lengthy and will contain various recommencations and 
promises. 

The big question will be just how much of it Mr. Curlcy really 
will mean. 

A year ago, he made a recommendation that control of police 
forces should be vested in cities and towns. Only two cities in Mas- 
sachusetts suffered from State control of their departments at that 
time. One was Boston. The other was Fall River. 

Today, on the eve of Mr. Curley's second annual message to the 
Legislature, both communities still suffer from remote control of 
their law enforcement divisions. 

And the rea.^on they do Is that Mr. Curley didn't mean what 
he said a year ago any more than many people who made New 
Year's resolutions. 

Bills were introduced during the year to give each city control 
of its police force and seemed pretty well on the wi,y to enactment 
in the State legislature, when orders came from the "corner room" 
in which Mr. Curley presides, and they were "Itilled." 

The manner in which the people were misguided and maltreat- 
ed with relation to the home rule measure has led them to regard 
all utterances from His Excellency, the Governor, as mere political 
balderdash, served"only slightly different in messages to the General 
Court than during election campaigns. 



Maiiufacfiiriitg Tax } irns Due — 

Manufacturers are await mg the Governor's message simply to 
determine if he will accept a proposal of the special recess commis- 
sion which sought new methods of obtaining taxes. 

This recommendation is that machinery used In manufacture 
be not taxed. 

Finance Commi.ssionor Carven, a member of the recess com- 
mission. Is a strong supporter of this proposal and anticipates that 
the Governor will lend his support to a movement to make It a law.

Governor controls a majority of the Legislature much In the man-

The Finance Commissioner and his colleagues warned in their 
report that "failure to furnish relief to industry can only result In 
further decline in manufacturing within our (Massachusetts) bor- 
ders, with consequent unemployment." They termed it "impera- 
tive that the State shall provide sufficient relief, to save factories 
and mills now operating, from closing (heir doors or from seeking 
locations in other States." 

The commLssion report brands the tax upon machinery "one of 
: the elements of excessive costs entering Into production in this 
I Slate" which "has become so burdensome that It Is partly responsl-

' State Revenue Tnereased. 

A five million iricrt;tsc in llir amount of taxes received

tion tlie ten jxt cent ineome surtax. 

National Itaiiks and tru.st conijianie.s sllipped in about j 
ItSCOOO to tlie )mi)vovenient fund, and the other sources of! 
revenue .showeil lesser gains. 

Tlie size of the gasoline tax, now exceeding $ 17, 88.'! ,000, 
serves to call attention again to the temptation to dij) into 
thi.s revenue for various ])ubHc uses, not connected with the 
purpose for which the tax was established. That jMirpose 
was the deAilopmeiit of a st/ite highway system, from which 
motorists could gain a direct benefit in retvirn for the money 
they contributed to the fund, 

Dc\ialioti from I Ins jjurposc has become so varied that 
it excites little comment. The latest raid upon the gasoline 
fund was to finance Ciovcrnor Curley's work anil wages 
bond issue, which, strictly speaking, is intended to inijirove 
the highways, but not along lines originally laid down, 

A very definite opinion is believed to exist, however, 
that 17 millons is more money than can be spent reasonably 
in one year on the stale highway system. This conviction 
has inspired the })ro])osition that, either the gasoline tax 
should be reduced, or that a greater share of tlie total col- 
lection be turned over to cities and town.s to meet their cur- 
rent highway construction and maintenance co.sls and so re- 
lieve their tax burdens.

BO.STOX, Dec. 31, (UP)— Frank

It '••;«% understood, however, 
that ihe Governor was preparing 
a siateTiient. 

Pq nting to Goodwin's success in 
maintaining peace in the indu.strial 
life of the shoe center of Brockton, 
the Governor expressed hope that 
"the same happy results" could be 
developed in other sections of Mass- 
achusetts. 

Curley's Statement 
"I have conferred with Mr. 
Frank A. Goodwin today, after 
making a thorough investigation 
of his activiti(?s in the field' of 
shoe manufacturng and I am con- 
vinced that there is justification 
for the position that he has taken. 
"I am not swayed in this de- 
cision by the fact that his work 
is carried on dming his own time 
and not during the time of the 
state, and I even believe that the 
question of ethics of the head of 
an important department inter- 
fering in matters of thi.s charac- 
ter may well be waivsd in view 



ff- 



of the results that havp been 
achieved ii> the preservation of 
^ important basic Massachusetts 
industry. 

"During the past two and one- 
half years of the operation of the 
organization of workers in which 
Mr. Goodwin has been interested 
in the Brockton district, there has 
been peace in the industry, the 
men have found steady employ- 
ment with conditions satisfactory 
•both as to wages and regulations 
and a real spirit of cooperation 
between employer and employe 
has been developed. 

Conditions Different 

The conditions that obtain In 
Brockton are in striking contrast 
to conditions obtaining in the in- 
dustry in other sections of the 
Commonwealth, notably in Lynn 
and Haverhill. 

"Provided the same happy re- 
sults for the industry, for the em- 
ployer and for the worker can be 
developed in other sections of 
Massachusetts, and that harmony 
can replace hatred and continuity 
of employment can replace strikes 
and lock-outs and "Red" agitation 
can be replaced by cooperation, 
there is no justification for any 
individual interested in the indus- 
trial life of the Commonwealth or 
the welfare of its people in t.ak- 
ing any steps that would prevent 
a consummation of results in 
other shoe centers similar to 
what has been establi.'^hed in the 
Brockton area. 

"Under the circumstances, with 
a realization of the valued serv- 
ices rendered by Mr. Goodwin as 
registrnr of motor vehicles and 
the equally valuable services that 
he has been rendering ah impor- 
tant toasic industry, there is no 
way in which I could justify any 
course other than to continue him 
as registrar of motor vehicles."

Another letter asking Governor | 
Curley to reveal his attitude on the j 
closing of the FcFry Lane School, 
has been forwarded to the Execu- j 
tive Department at the State House i 
by Mortimer A. Sullivan, as secre- , 
tary of the Amalgamated Club of ; 
Fail River. 

Mr. Sullivan uses pointed Ian- j 
guage in demanding that the Gov- j 
ernor replv direct to the chib mem- 
bers and advising that there will be 
some interesting revelations If the 
Board of Finance will hold a public 
hearing on the question of keeping 
the North End school closed. 

The letter to the Governor fol- 
lows: 

"Now that the holy season of 
Christmas has passed, I again 
write you. as secretarv of tho 
Amalgamated Club of Fall River, 
and ask you do you not think the 
amalgamation is worthy of a re- 
ply in regards to its letter of De- 
cember 7th, 1935, regarding your 
stand in reference to the reopen- 
ing of the Ferry Lane School in 
the humble city of Fall River? 

"The amalgamation asked you 
to give a direct reply, and you 
referred our letter to the Fall 
River Finace Board, who wrote 
to the secretary of the Amalga- 
mated, asking him into confer- 
ence, and during that conference 
the chairman of the hoard admit- 
ted that you could recommend. 

"So you see, your Excellency, 
that places you in an unfavorable 
light if you do not recommend 
the Finance Board to reopen the 
1 Ferry Lane School, if you want 
us to consider you as a great hu- 
manitarian. If you cannot, or do 
not, wish to recommend to the 
Finance Board that the said 
school be reopened, would you ask 
the said Bosrd to allow us a pub- 
lic hearing on the question? 

"Now, your Excellency, there is 
no need of the amalgamation act- 
ing un-American and undemo- 
cratic, in asking you to reply to 
our correspondence directly, but 
that is just what we are entitled 
to. The secretary believes that 
straight and honest writing is the 
best understood. Don't you think 
so, Mr. Governor? 

"There is a colored gentleman 
in the woodpile and if we are 
honored with a public hearing by 
the Finance Board, we are going 
to show what we mean. Please

"Please be advised if you are 
to ignore our correspondence, you 
are at liberty to do so, but we 
are also at liberty to ignore you

(Special to The Gazette)

Curley issued a statement to the press, 
following a conference with Goodwin 
this morning. It follows: 

"I have conferred with Prank A. 
Goodwin today after making a thor- 
ough investigation of his activities in 
the field of shoe manufacturing and 
I am convinced that there Is justifl- 
eatlon for the position that he haj

"I am not swayed In this decision

Brockton area. 

"Under the circumstances and with 
a realbAtion of the valued services 
rendered by Mr. Goodwin as registrar 
of motor vehicles and the equally 
valuable services that he has been 
rendering an Important basic Industry, 
there is no way in which I could 
justify any course other than to con- 
tinue him as registrar of motor vc- 
1 hlclos." 

Gov, Curley arrived at his offlce 
at)out 10:30 this morning, following 



three days confinement in bed, suf- I 
ferlng from a severe cold. Shortly be- 
fore 11 Goodwin, who was handed an 
ultimatum last week by the Governor | 
to quit his labor activities or resign as 
registrar, arrived at the executive 
apartment. He was ushered into the 
Governor's ofHce at U. 

Goodwin said he was called to the 
Governor's office by the Governor. 
"Have you your resignation with you?" 
Goodwin was ajsked. "I have not," was 
the registrar's reply. 

Goodwin, an adviser of the Brock- 
ton brotherhood of Shoe and Allied 
craftsmen, recently suggested to Ha- 
verhill shoe workers that they organ- 
ize a similar union. He crlticlred the 
Boot and Shoe Workers union which 
recently signed contracts with Haver- 
hill manufacturers as not truly rep- 
resenting the workers. 

A protest from the Boot and Shoe 
Workers union to the Governor re- 
sulted in the ultimatum to the reg- 
istrar who later said he never valued 
any job so highly that he would per- 
mit It to Interfere with his rights of 
free speech and action. 

Goodwin emerged from the Gov- 
ernor's office after a 55-minute con- 
ference and waved reporters aside 
with the terse comment "I have noth- 
ing to say." 

When appraised of the statement 
of Governor Curley. Registrar Good- 
win made the following comment: 
"I knew when His Excellency got rll 
the facts he would change his mind. 
I appreciate his action very much."

Gov. Curley Issues 
, NeWTTear's Message 

'boston, Dec. 31.— The year 
1936 ''gives promise of opening 
in a more inviting manner than 
any year that America has 
known for the past six years," 
Governor Curley slated today in 
a New Year's message. 

"Not only the sunshine of 
Heaven but the sunshine of pros- 
perity appears to penetrate 
every portion of our country," 
he ."said. 

"The task that lies Immediate- 
ly ahead in the development ot 
an economic and humanitarian 
program will un.iucstionably tax 
the talent and ingenuity of the 
American peop:^ bu: animated 
by faith, in themselves and in 
our common country, we will 
succeed in solving our problems. 
We can without fear enter into 
the New Year firm in the belief 
that the blessings in store for the 
people of America will be more 
abundant than has ever pre- 
viously been the lot of the 
American people. 

"In this spirit animated by this 
belief and sustained by this faith, 
it is an exceeding pleasure to ex- 
tend a Happy New Year to the 
entire people of the Common-

A.s Goodwin entered the govern- 
or's office, interviewers asked him, 
"Have you your resignation with 
you?" 

"I have not," Goodwin replied. 

Goodwin, an adviser of the 
Brockton Brotherhood of Shoe and 
Allied Craftsmen, recently .suggest- 
ed to Haverhill .shoe workers that 
they organize a .similar union. He 
criticized the Boot and Shoe Work- 
er.-,' Union which recently signed 
contracts with Haverhill manufac- 
lurcrs fi.s not truly representing the 
workers. 

A protest from the Boot and 
,Shoe ■Workers' Union to the govern- 
j or resulted In the ultimatum to the 
I registrar who later .said he never 
valued any Job .so hlt?hly that he 
would permit It to interfere with 
his rights of free .speech and ac- 
tion. 



Boston, Dec. 31, (/PI— Frank A. 
Goodwin will continue to be Ma.ssa- 
chusetts regi.stiar of motor vehicles

"After making a thorough inves-

"Under the circumstances, with 
a realization of the valued services 
rendered by Mr. Goodwin as regis-

1936 Legislature Convenes 
Tomorrow; Gov. Curley to 
Deliver Annual Message 



BOSTON. Dec. 31— Tomorrow 
morning the 1936 Legislature will 
convene for the annual .session, and 
there is a flood of bills now before 
the branches for the consideration 
of the Solons. So far 295 matters 
have been placed in the hands of 
the House clerk for consideration 
with the Senate branch. The num- 
ber is 89 le.ss than filed last year, 
and 71 petitions have been placed j 
but the indications are that there | 
wUl be more before the final day i 
for filing petitions, Jan. 11. ' 

Both branches will meet at 11 
o'clock in the forenoon, at indiv- 
idual sessions when presiding offic- 
ers will be named and committee 
changes designated and the new 
members sworn in. 

It is expected that, barring unusu- 
al proceedings, both the House and 
senate will meet in joint session at 
12 30 noon, to hear Gov. Curley de- | 
Uver his annual message and that | 
is expected to take about two hours, j 
A controversy looms in the Senate ! 
as the Republicans probably will 
fight to prevent tlie reelection of 
Sen James G. Moran, of Mansfield, 
whom the Republicans have brand- 
eu as a renegade. 

Ren Patrick J. Welsh, of Hyde 
Park has filed a bill to fix the 
maximum rate for gas in Hyde 
Park Dedham and Westwood at $1 
per icoo cubic feet. He has been 



conducting a fight for this same ob- 
jective for the past five years. 



Rep. Owen Gallagher, of Boston, 
has filed a bill that would require 
insurance companies or surety com- 
panies issuing motor vehicle liabil- 
ity policies and bonds to make de- 
posits with the state treasurer. He 
also .seeks to have repealed the law 
providing for local excise taxes on 
registered motor vehicles and also a 
bill that would give persons ar- 
rested the right to be examined by 
I their own physicians. 

Rep. John J. Whalen, of Brockton, 
1 is to again wage his war for estab- 
j lishing a state lottery, which he lost 
'last year, at the coming ses.sion, and 
i will try to bring into being a "State 
j Subscription Commission" for 1936. 
I He would have 50 per cent of the 
I proceeds go to prizes and the re.st 
for use in financing the old age as- 
sistance act. 



Jacob Prager, of Boston, yesterday 
filed a bill with the Legislature for 
a suitable memorial to the late 
President Calvin Coolidge to be 
placed in the State Hoase, or on 
the adjoining grounds. 



Gov. Curley has been .suffering 
with a severe cold, and, although 
reported better yesterday, probably 
will not be in the Stale Hou.se un- 
til tomorrow when he is slated to 
deliver his annual address to the 
1/egislature.

"Under the circumstances, with a 
realization of the valued .services 
rendered by Mr. Goodwin as regis- 
trar of motor vehicles and the equal- 
ly valuable services that he has been | 
rendering an important ba.sic indiu"!- | 
try, there Ls no way in which I could I 
ju-stify any cour.se other than to con- i 
tinue him a.s registrar." 

A;; Goodwin entered the governor's 
office, interviewers asked him, "Have 
you your resignation with you?" 
"I have not," Goodwin replied. 
Goodwin, an advuser of the Brock- 
ton Brotherhood of Shoe and Allied 
Craftsmen, recently suggested to 
Haverhill shoe workers that they or- 
ganize a similar union. He criticized 
the Boot and Shoe Workers union 
which recently .signed contracts with 
Haverhill manufacturers as not truly 
representing the workers. 

A protest from the Boot and Shoe 
Workers' union to the governor rc- 
■sulted in the ultimatum to the regis- 
trar who later said he never valued 
any job .so highly that he would per- 
mit it to interctere with his right.5 of 
free fir)eech and action. 

Goodwin emevged fro.i the gov- 
ernor's office after a o5-minute con- 
ference and waved reporters aside 
with the ter.se comment "i have 
nothing to say." It was undcr.stood 
that Governor Curley was preparing

CURLEY RETRACTS 
ULTIMATUM 
TO GOODWIN: 
REGISTRAR STAYS 

Says OfficiaFs 
Acts Justified 



Avers Union Work 
Has Meant Peace 
to Slioe Inihistry 
in Brockton Area 

BOSTON. Dec. 81 (UP) — 
Frank A. Goodwin will con- 
tinue in office a.s Registrar of 
Motor Vehicles. Governor 
Curley announced today. 

La.st week the Governor told 
Goodwin he either must quit as ] 
advi.ser to Brockton shoe workers I 
or retire from hi.« $6,000-a-year | 
.state job as ropistrar. But after 
a 55-niinutc conference with Good- 
win today, Curley capitulated and 
said "there is no way In which I 
could justify any course other than 
continue him as Resist rar." 

Poinlinpr to Goodwin's success in 
maintainhifr peace in the industrial 
life of the shoe center of Brockton, 
the Governor expressed hope that 
"the same happy results" could he 
developed in other sections of Mas- 
sachusetts, 

Thorough Investigation 
Curley's statement follows; 
"I have conferred with Mr. Frank 
A. Goodwin today, after making a 
thorough investigation of his ac- 
tivities in the (ield of shoe manu- 
fncturinfj and I am convinced that 
there is justification for the posi- 
tion that he has taken, 

"I am not swaved in this decision 
by the fact that his work is carried 
on durinp his own time and not 
during the time of the state, and 
I even believe that the question of 
ethics of the head of an important 
department InterferinR in matters 
of this character may well be 



waived in view of the results that 
have been achieved in the preserva- 
tion of an important basic Massa- 
chusetts industr.v, , 

"During- th» past two and one- 
half years of the operation of the 
organization of workers in whicti 
Mr, Goodwin has been interested in | 
the Brockton district. ^Vre hn,? 
been peace in the irdM.^tfy, t?iff men- 
have found steady employment 
with conditions satisfactory both 
as to wages and regulation.s and a 
leal spirit of cooperation between 
employer .ind er?->pIoye has been 
j developed, 
j Contrasting Condition* 

"The conditions that obtain in 
Brockton are in striking contra.-^t 
to conditions obtaining In the in- 
I dustry in other sections of the Com- 
' mon wealth, notably in Lynn and 
I IL-iverhil!. Provided the sama 
I happy results for the Industry, for 
1 the employer and for the worker 
' can be developed in other sections 
' of Ma.^.sachusetts. and that har- 
mony can repLice hatred and con- 
: tinuily of employment can replace 
, strikes and locii-outs and "Red" 
j agitation can be replaced by coop- 
I er.Ttion, there is no justification for 
nny individual interested ii-i the in- 
dustrial life of the Commonwealth 
or the welfare of its people in tak- 
ing any steps that would prevent 
a consummation of results in other 
shoe centers similar to what has 
been established in the Brockton 
area, 

"ITnder the circumstances, with a 
roalization of the valued services 
rendered by Mr. Goodwin as Regis- 
trar of Motor Vehicles and ths 
eqvially valuable services that he 
has been rendering aii important 
basic industry, there is no way in 
which I could justify any course 
other than to continue him as 
Registrar of Motor Vehicles."

.Shoe and Allied Craftsmen, which 
Registrar of Motor Vehicles Good- 
win serves as an unpaid advi.ser,

Shoe Workers Union, an affiliate 
of the American Federation of 
Ijabor with which manufacturers 
have signed contracts, was third,

calling for the removal of the 
hoard. The Parole Board can be l 
removed by the Governor and i

CURLEY CHANGES 
STAND: GOODWIN 
/ WILL CONTINUE 

BOSTON, Dec. 31 W),_Pi-ank A. 
Goodwin will continue to be Massa- 
chusetts registrar of motor vehiclw 
and furthermore will continue as an 
adviser of the Brockton Brotherhood 
of Shoe and Allied Crai^tsmen. 

Governor James M. Curley today 
withdrew a demand that Goodwin 
retire either from labor activity or 
his State office, and voiced his ap- 
proval of both activities. 

Governor Ourley said today, "Aft- 
er malting a thorough investiga- 
tion of his (Goodwin's) activities 
in the field of shoe manufacturing 
I am convinced that there Is jus- 
tification for the position he has 
taken. 

"The conditions that obtain in 
Brockton are in striking contrast 
to conditions obtaining in the in- 
dustry in other sections of the Com- 
monwealth, notably in Lynn and 
Haverhill, * • • 

"Under the cireumstances, with 
a realization of the valued .services 
rendered by Mr. Goodwin a.s Regis- 
trar of Motor Vehicles and the 
equally valuable services that he 



he never valued any job m high- 
ly that he would permit it to in- 
terfere with his rights of free 
speech and aciiou.' 

Goodwin emerged from the 
ffovernor's office after a 55-mia- 
tite oonfeienre and waved report- 
ers aside with the terse comment 
"I have nothing to .say." It was 
iHulerKtood that fiovernor Curley 
was preparing a statement r«- 
KsrtUns. Oooi^wiu, 



has been rendering an Important 
basic lnclu»try, there is no way In 
which I could justify any cour** 
other than to oontimie him u 
Registrar." 

Governor Ourley aald the ques- 
tion of ethics could well be waiv- 
ed "in view of the results that have 
lx>en achieved in the preservation 
of an imiixjrtant basic Massachu- 
setts industry. " 

"During tlie past two and one- 
half years of the operation of the 
organization of workers in which 
Mr. Goodwin has been interested 
in the Brockton District, there has 
been i>e«>oe in the lnd\i9t.ry, the 
men liAve found steady employ- 
ment with oonditioai a«tisfact<»Tr 
both as to wages and regulations 
and a real spirit of cooperation be- 
tween employer and employee has 
been developed. • • • 

"Provided the .'jame happy re- 
sults for the lixttistry, for the em- 
ployer and Jor the worker can be 
developed in other sections of Mas- 
sachusetts, and that harmony can 
reiplaoe hatred and continuity of 
employment can replace strlkiw 
and lockouts and 'Red' agWatlon 
can be replaced by cooperation, 
there is no Ju«tiificatlon for any

WOULD OUST 
PAROLE BOARD 

i' 

Councilor Brennan Sayt It 

Would Allay Unrest in 

Prisons 

BOSTON. De<-. 31.— Governor's 
Councilor Jame.s J. Brennan of 
Somerville announced yesterday aft- 
jernoon, following his return to the 
j Stale House after he and members 
; of the Council had visited the Con- 
cord reformatory, that he woidd ask 
the Council Wednesday to recom- 
mend t-o Governor Ja me.s M. Curley 
that he submit an ordWTBlRtntr for 
the removal of the State Board of 
Parole. He said the step should be 
taken to relieve the unrest at penal 
Institutions. 

Councilor Brennan said that the 
I Council yesterday afternoon receiv- 
ed as many complaints at the re- 
iformatory, against the operation of 
i the parole system by the Board of 
I Parole, as were filed with the body 
j during last week's visit to State 
j prison. "The board must go," Coun- 
cilor Brennan declared. 

The Somerville member .sponsored 
the Councils investigation into con- 
ditions at the ijenal institutions and 
he said yesterday afternoon he 
i would initiate the move seeking to 
! remove the present parole board. He 
expressed the belief that there 
! might be some opposition to his 
{suggestion, but was hoijeful that the 
reconvmendation would ultimately 
be approved by his associates. 

Brennan said he would make the | 
I i-ecommendation without requesting \ 
\ a pitbhc hearing at which the lK>ard 
lmeml)ers could be heard, pointing 
I out that they could express them- i 
■ selves at a hearing if and when the ; 
Governor .•suggested their removal, 
j "There has got to be a change in 
'the parole system." he declared. "I 
am going to ask for the removal of 
the present board and the establish- 
ment of a new board or providing 
for no board at all to supen'ise the 
parole system." 

The present board of parole con- 
sist« of Richard Olney of Boston, 
chairman; Mathew W. Bullock of 
Boston and P Emmett Gavin of 
Boston. Bullock's term expires next 
year, while terms of Chairman Ol- 
ney and Gavin expire in 1937.

Washburn's petition at least the 
sixth in a hitherto fruitless series is 
believed to have some chance of ap-

"In the past it has been felt that i

Given Safe Passage 

In fact Roger went out of his way 

,0 .void MaLchusetts on his way 

to England in his later years, jour- 
neying to New York, where ho board- 
ed a schooner. On his return, armed 
with letters from the King, he parsed 
through Massachusetts on his wa.y to 
Providence, but did not .stop. The 
letters assured him "safe passage 
despite the ban. 

Other cflorts were made to Hit tne 
decree of banishment in 1774, in 177b, 
1876 and in 1900, but little is known 
of these. ^ . , . „^ 

The most recent effort, aside from 
Mr Wa.shburn's of last year, was that 
of the late Representative Lewis b. 
Gray of Swansea, who in 1929 intro- 
duced a joint resolve for the lifting 
of the decree of 1635. Mr. Gray point- 
ed out at the time that Massachusetts 
was aproaching its own tercentenary 
in 1930 and that in remembrance ot 
Governor John Winthrop's efforts to 
have the Williams ban lifted, the 



General Court should revoke the ir- 1 
revocable sentence. , ^ ^ 

Gray who died since, had been a | 
former resident of Rhode Island and 
a close student of early colonial days 
in both States. 

But his effort came to naught. The 
' Massachusetts General Court de- 
clined to take the matter seriously, 
and the petition was lost. 

Last year, when Mr. Washburn's , 
measure was under consideration, a 
hoax was perpetrated by a well- 
known Boston lawyer. Melville F. 
Weston, who publicised what pur- 
ported to be a long lost letter cj 
Rocer's, opposing the lifting of 111* 
ban Weston, a student of Williams s 
lite and writings, had couched he 
document in the terminology of the 
early Hth century, and appended 
Uiereto a facsimile ct Roger Wil- 
liams's signature, copied from a his- 
tory book. 

Hoax Admitted 
After a Curry had been caused by 
the document, Weston admitted hav- 
ing written it himself. The hoax, it 
was felt at the time, had an adverse 

effect on the fortunes of the Wash- 
burn petition. 

Appropriately enough, attention 
tomorrow as Rhode Island's lercen- 
tcnarv opens, will be on the Great 
and deniral Court of Massachusett , 
whose action 300 years ago led di- 
rectly to the founding of Providence 
and the State of Rhode Island. 

Boston, which opened the way for 

the new State, may likewise open 

e State's 300lh birthday with a 

b.n^ hv restoring to Roger what he 

lo"ng since has lost, the power to en- 

oy the right of "life, liberty and the 

/pursuit of happiness' m the com

Brennan said the step would be taken 
to relieve the iinrcst among prisoners 
at state penal institutions. 

Brennan saiil the councilors re^ 
ceived as many .omplaints at ho 
reformatory against operation of the 
parole svstem by the par.dc boards as 
were made when members visited 
Charlestown prison last week.

inB of his intent to seek remov.il of

antic pated opposition, bill hoped the 
recommendation would receive council ^

Boston. OIney and C.avin wore np- 
nointed hv Gov Kly and their terms 
expire in \rM. Bullock was reap- 
pointed by Gov Ely and his term ex- 
pires next year. 

Il has Vieen evident for some time 
mst that something was going on in 
the parole svstem that was not con- 
ducive to satisfactory conditions in 
the prisons, and recent outbreaks in 
the Charlestown prison and Mas.sa-

1 the withdrawal ot a Christmas pardon 



for a Worcester pyromaniac by Gov

' Predicts Best Year Since 1929 



1 Predicting the new year would 
bring greater prosperity than any 
time during the last six year, Gov- 
ernor Curley today issued his offi- 
cial New Year greetings. His mes- 
sage read: 

"The year 1936 gives promise ol 
opening in a more Inviting man- 
ner than any year that America 
has known for the past six years. 
Not only the sunshine of Heaven 
hut the sunshine of prosperity ap- 
pears to penetrate every portion 
of our country. 

"The task that lies iinme- 
diatply ahead in the drvclopnient 
of an economic and humani- 
tarian program will unqueslioa- 
ab'v tax the talent and i ngenuity 



of the .American people, hut ani- 
nia'ed by faith In God, In them- 
selves and in our common 
country, we vrill suc<>eed In solv- 
ing our problems. 

"Ue can without fear enter 
Into the New Year firm In the 
belief that blessings in store lor 
the people of America will be 
more abundant than has ever 
previously been the lot of the 
American people. , ^ u , 

"In this spirit animated by 
thiii l)plief and sustainfd by this

I War between Governor Curley 
'and RegiBtJ-ar Goodwin ended to- 

''^After a one-hour conference with 
the registrar, the governor not 
onty retracted his ultimatum to , 
Goodwin, but highly praised him , 
and gave him hi.s gubernatorial^ 

'"The"^.Uimatum given Ooodwin I

registrar had defiantly •■'«'<i/hat 

he could not see any necessity of 
, doing either. 

PEACE IN INDUSTRY 

Following the conference today, 
Goodwin went eilently out the 

l^>aj>>cloor, -waving Inquirers 

i But Governor Curley i.ssued the 
I following statement: 
\ "I have conferred with Regls- 
1 trar Goodwin, after making » 
thoTough Investigation in the 
field of shoe manufacture and I 
am ennvlneed there is justifica- 
tion for the position he has tak- 
en. 

"I am not nwnyed In this de- 
cision by the fact that his work 
, is carried on during his own time 
, and not during the time of the 
I state, and I even believe that the 
1 question of ethics ot the head of 
»n ImpoHant stat« department 
Interferlns In matteiK of this 



character may well be waived. In 
view of the rc«ults that have 
been achieved In an Important 
basic Massachusetts Industry. 

"During the past two and a half 
years of the operation of the or- 
ganization of workers in which 
Mr. r;oo<l»ln has been Interested 
In the Brockton district there 
has been peace in the Industry, 
the men have found steady em- 
ployment, with conditions satis- 
factory both as to wages and reg- 
ulations. I 
CITKS I.YNN STRIKK 

"The conditions that obtain In 
Brockton are In striking cxm- 
trast to conditions in other parts 
of the stat*^, notably in Lynn 
and Haverhill. 

"Under the circumstances, with 
a rpnll7,atlon of the valued serv- 
ices rendered by Mr. Goodwin as 
regis! rar of motor vehicles and 
the equally valuable service that 
he has l>eeii rendering an Im- 
portant basic Industry, there is 
no way in which I could Justify 
any course other than to con- 
tinue him as registrar." 

After the typewritten statement 
restoring Goodwin to complete 
favor iind withdrawing the ulti- 
matum had been lssne<l, the gov- 
ernor frankly a<lmltted that It 
was "difficult for anybody to a4> 
inlt that he wa« wrong."

llF PniSON PERU 



Conditions at State Prison, Nor- 
folk Prison Colony and Concord 
Reformatory were termed "tense 
and dangerous" by Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor Joseph F. Hurley today. 

The lieutenant-governor's state- 
ment on prison conditions preceded 
a meeting of the governor's council 
tomorrow at which plans will be 
discussed for a public hearing on 
abolition of the parole board. 

The council is expected to meet 
previous to the Legislature con- 
vening. 

Lieutenant-Governor Hurley said: 
"It in likely that a public hear- 
ing on the parole hoard question 
will be held In a few days. An 
opportunity will be afforded th*-* 
parole hoard members to present 
their views on the board abolish- 
ment. 

"The commissioner of correc- 
tion and the heads of the prison 
Institutions will also be heard. 

"The situation at three of our 
principal prisons Is tense and 
dangerous. Something must be 
done Immediately to remedy It," 

Hurley also said ttiat the coun- 
cil was cogniiant of the fact that 
trouble is brewing In various 
prisons because of parole board's 
actions and that necessary steps 
must be taken. 

Councillor James F. Brennan of 
Somerville, following the comple- 
tion of an investigation of the 
penal institutions, recommended 
the present paroi'e board be re- 
moved.

/ TAX ES BIG ISSUE 

Legislature Convenes Tomorrow 



By BERNARD ,1. DOHKRTY 

The 1636 LeRislaturp convene? 
tomorrow on Beacon Hill with tax 
reformn ond Kovernmeiitsl pcono- 
mies loomlnp up as two biR issues. 

Not bplnft: an inaugural year, the 
convening will conmst of simple 
ocrpim/onies. Both branchps will 
convene nl 11 a, m. in thpir lospoo- 
tlve chambers and will be ad- 
dreBKPd by tho. presiding officers. 
At noon I he two bodlp.< will be ».«- 
sfimbled in joint convention in the 
Hou.ie and will listen to the annual 
me.i.'saKp of Onv ernor Ctirl ey. 

Chan(fe.'i in the inal<eiip of com- 
mittees will then lake place and 
the session will be ready for busi- 
ness. 

A short session is looked for In 
view of the fact (hat l!>3fi is a 
presidential year as well as a btste 
elertlon year. 
NKW TAX I'R0(;KAM 

An ambitious new tax procram. 
creature of the .«i'Pclal commission 
which sat duriOK the recess, will he 
before the body for consideration. 
Judcing from the storm of protp.st 
which thp proposed plan has 
aroused already, its reception by 
thP I.eKislature will not he friendly. 

Briefly the commis.sion asks that 
exemptions in the ."tate income tax 
for sinple men he reduced from 
$2iHiO to $1400, married men from 
J2500 to $1P00, adding 200,000 new 
small salaries to the tax.ible sroup. 

This change is figured to brlngr 
$3„"iOO,000 in new revenue to relieve 
real estate and manufacturine 
planla. 

It is proposed to rai.se the .state 
tax on dog racing from 3W to 10 
per cent and the hor.'ip racinp tax 
from 3'-2 to 5 per cent, impose on 
the telephone company a $1 tax a 
year on every telephone, a lax of 
H per cent on each 100 cubic feet 
of Kas. 1-10 cenl on each killo- 
watt hour of electricity <icplacin.g 
the public franehi.ses taxes*. 

Abolish the present machinery 
tax and give instead local au- 
thorltie.s the right to lax mer- 
ehandlse; eliminnle tax exemption 
on unearned inooirve; jilace a $2 a 
$1000 on non income producing sr- 
curltieK, extend the 6 per cent lax 
on domestic dividend.* and license 
■bagatelle and vending machines. 

Outside of substitute taxes, and 
increased horse and dog revenues, 
the program will be fought by the 
various tax aasocialinna through- 
out the state, which have been 
organized this year into a power- 
ful body. 

These organizations are on rec- 
ord for relief through economies, 
pointing out that new taxes in-

tive chambers and will be ad- 
dressed by the presiding olficei -.

Changes in the makeup of com- ,

NEW TAX PROGRAM 1 

An ambitious new tax program, i 

creature of the special commission 

which sat during the recess, will ^a 

before the body for considerat o:i 

Judging from the storm of protc.-i,. 

which the proposed plan has 

aroused already, its reception by 

the Legislature will not be f"endlv. 

' Briefly the commission asks that 

exemptions In 'he state income ta^^ 

for single men be reduced frnni 

$2000 to $liOO. married men from 

J2500 to $1900, adding 200,000 ne.v 

small salaries to the taxable group^ 

This change is figured to brin^ 

$3,500,000 in new revenue to relifve 

real estate end manufacturing 

plants. 

11 is proposed to ral.«e the sta « 

tax on dog racing from 3'.-^ to lu 

per cent and the horse racing tax 

from 3'A to 5 per cent, impose on 

the telephone company a $1 tax a 

year on every telephone, a tax of 

H per cent on each 100 cubic fct 

»f gas, 1-10 cent on each klllo- 

*atl hour of electricity {replacing 

'be^ public franchises taxes).

Outside ot .uhatltuu taxes, and

the program will be fought by the

out ihe state, which have been 
oiijanized this year into a power-

I Curley at Desk, 
Sees Goodwin I 

Governor Curley resumed his 
duties at the State House todav 
after three days spent at homt 
with a heavy cold. He went into 
a huddle with Registrar of Motor 
Vehicles Frank A. Goodwin, 

A few days ago Goodwin was 
handed an ultimatum by the Gov- 
ernor either to cease hi.s labor or- 
ganization activitie,'* or resign as 
registrar. 

"Have yon your resi^natoln 
with .you," the registrar was 
asked as he was about to enter 
the chief executive's office. 
"I have not," be replied. 



Bcfiislrar of Motor Vcbicks Frank 
A. Goodwin, recently called upon by 
Gov Curley cither to give up his 
activities as" unpaid covin,scl to a labor 
organization or else his state post. | 
was hastily summoned to the Execu- , 
tive Chambrr by Curley late this 
forenoon. 

Reporters, hearing of the summons, 
accosted Mr Goodwin as he entered, 
asking good-humoredly if he had his 
resignation with him. Goodwin 
aniwcred to the general effect that 
he certainly didn't have any such 
document on his person at the 
moment. 

Registrar Goodwin added, with a 
smile, that he hadn't the slightest 
idea of the cause of his hurried sum- 
mons by the Governor, and repeated 
that he hss no idea of resigning his 
position.

FDR REMOVAL OF 
, PAROli BOARD 

Governor's Council May 
Take Drastic Action 



Gov Curley intimated today that he 
was in aword with certain members 
of his Council who have demanded 
the removal of the present Board of 
Paroles, and stated that if the Council 
held an opinion similar to his on the j 
question, "dra.stic action may well be 
taken tomorrow." 

Councilor James J. Brennan of 
Somerville ."stated yesterday that he 
would demand the board's removal 
when the Governor and Council meet 
tomorrow. 

At the same time it was learned 
that the board members would de- 
mand a hearing, if removed by the 
Council, and that they would chatge 
politics and political pressure were 
t;csponsible for their removal. 

The Governor's Council has been 
investigating the present policy of the 
Parole Board for the pa.'^t week, ,ind 
members have blamed the current 
prison unrest, and two recent breaks 
at Concord and Charlestown, on the 
board. 

Board Considering- Pa.st Offenses 

The inmates of the Slate Prison are 
disgruntled and are not behaving 
well because the Parole Board re- 
fuses to recommend them for parole 
when they become eligible at tlie end 
of two thirds of their minimum sen- 
tences. The board had insisted on its 
right to consider past offenses of a 
irisoner when weighing him as » 
parole ri.sk. 

Today the Governor said be would 
take lio action until informed of 
Council's opinion, but added that 
since he has been Governor his office 
has been deluged with letters object- 
ing to the Parole Board's attitude. 

Friends and families of prisoners 
whose records in prison are excellent 
and who have become eligible for 
parole have been unable to secure 
ilieir release because the board sets 
them back on their parole, according 
to these communications. 



Gov Curley for Prisoners' Side 

-There is no incentive for a man 
to conform to the prison rules and 
become a model prisoner," the Gov- 
ernor said today, "if he feels that 
lie is not going to receive any re- 
ward for so doing. 

"When a prisoner does so conform 
to the rules and has a good record. 
the Parole Board says he i.s a smart 
criminal and a fox, behaving himself 
merely to fool them, and denies him 
recommendation for parole. 

"That makes a very bad situation. 
If the Council concurs and holds the 
same opinion of it that I do. drastic 
action mav be taken tomorrow.

Gov Curley said this afternoon that 
Registrar J'rank A. Goodwin, on 
whom he called last week to either 
' resign his state job or cease his 
activities as unpaid counsel for a 
labor union, would remain as regis- 
trar and was free to continue his 
labor work at the same time. 

The Governor said he had reached 
this conclusion when he learned the I 
immense amount of good tiic registrar { 
had accomplished for the members of ' 
his union. He released a statement ' 
on the situation after conferring with 
Goodwin in his offices for .55 minutes. 

"I believe that the question of 
ethics of the head of an important 
department in matters of this charac- 
ter may well be waived in view o( 
Uie results that have been achieved in 
the preservation of an importan. 
basic Massachusetts industry," the 
Governor said. > 

The Governor added that the sho? 
workers in Brockton, where Mi 
Goodwin has been tyiive for 2'- 
years, enjoyed a prosperity and hap- 
piness that was unique in the indus- 
try in this slate. In view of his cx- 
ccUciu work, and the fact (hat he 
carried on this work durmg his own 
time, the Governor said he could not 
see his way to interfere. 



I .'•■liikes and lockouts and 'red' agita- 
,tion can be replaced by cooperation, 
[there is no justification for ^ny in- 
i dividual interfering in the industrial 
j life of the Commonwealth and the 
int-lfaro of its people, in taking any 

1 steps that would prevent a consumma- 
tion of resiUts in other shoe centers 
.similar to that which has been estab- 
lished in the Brockton area. 

"Under the circumstances, with a 
realization of the valued services 
rendered by Mr Goodwin as Regis- 
trar of Motor Vehicles and the equal- 
ly valued services that he has been 
rendering an important basic indus- 
try, there is no way in which I could 
justify any course other than to con- 
tinue him as Begistrar of Motor Ve- 
hicles." 

Appraised of the Governor's state- 
ment Registrar Goodwin said: 

"I knew when His Excellency got 
all thef acts he would change his 
mind. I appreciate his action very 
much.

400 mci! are at present employed in 
the clearing of the National Guard 
campsite on Cape Cod. and by the 
end of^ the week the number will be 
increa.sed io 700 and there is every 
indication that the job will last for 
a period of six months." 

F\irther discussing the new Nation-

"Due to the amount of Federal work

lien, it has been necessary to secure

it is an exceeding pleasure to 
extend a Happy New Year to the 
entire people of the Common-

MILLION ALLOCATED 
TO DEEPEN CHANNEL 

Will Give Boston Deepest 
Harbor on East Coast 



A 40-foof channel for Boston Har- 
bor is to be dredged 600 feet wide 
from President Roads to Common- 
wealth Pier No. I, and provide this 
city with the deepest harbor on the: 
Atlantic Coast at high water. 

Frank S. Davis, manager of the 
Maritime Association, was notified 
yesterday by Col John J. Kingman, 
district engineer of the War Depart- 
ment, that $1,000,000 in Federal funds 
has been allocated for completion of 
the work. 

The improvement has been 
sought for years by the Maritime 
Association and other port organiza- 
tions. Go v Curle y has also been ac- 
tive in attelHptS to obtain funds from 
the Government to improve the Bos- 
ton port facilities. 

The channel is now 35 feet deep at 
mean low water and will be dredged 
five feet deeper. This will provide a 
safe entry for the world's largest ves- 
sels, officials said last night. 

With the high rise in tide at this 
port Boston will, when the project is 
completed, have the deepest harbor 
on the Atlantic Coast at high water. 

Bids for the work, soon to be ad- 
I vertised. will be opened early in Feb- 
ruary. The contracts will be awarded 
as soon as possible after bids are 
opened. Army officials are reported 
anxious to have the work start. 

An immediate result expected from 
deepening of the channel is that peo- 
ple will solicit a Boston service by 
the biggest transatlantic liners.

has atoned for his crimes, and should

der calling for the removal of VM 
board. The Parole Board can be 
removed by the Governor and Coun- 
cil without a hearing, if they find 
suPRcient cause, but the board can 
then ask for a hearing which would 
undoubtedly be granted. 

Stirring Discontent 

Brennan said the Councilors had 
fovind a similar situation in both Con- 
cord and Charlestowh, prisoners. eli-| 
Bible for parole, sowing the seeds of 
discontent among other inmates, be- 
cause they had not been recommend- 
ed for parole after hearings before 
the board. 

He blamed the recent breaks at 
ooth institutions on the Parole 
Board's failure to recommend the re- 
lease of prisoners when they became 
*h8ible on completing two-thirds of 
"^"- minimum sentences. "Either 
go or wc will con

the board must ^u "i wi; wn. loh-

Observers in the State House had i 
little doubt that the Council would \ 
vote to remove the board and th.c j 
ouster would be approved by the . 
Governor. It was accepted as an al- 
most equal certainty that the mem- | 
hers of the board would demand and i 
be granted a hearing. 1 

"In my opinion thr is no need of a > 
hearing for their removal," Brennan; 
said yesterday. "We have examined ; 
a lot "of cases, and already have what i 
I consider sufficient cause." ! 

It was Brennan who sponsored th3 ; 
investigation By the Council into the , 
conditions in the prisons, which ■ 
started with a visit to Norfolk Prison , 
Colony several weeks ago, and wound j 
up with visits to Charlestown and i 
Concord Thursday and yesterday. 

Two members of the Parole Board 
have remained silent throughout tne 
inquiry, but Emmett Gavin has stated 
that he would not unleash hardened 
criminals on an unprotected public 
regardless of their orison records, if 
tiieir past records showed them to be , 
a poor parole risks. ] 

"The Councilors have been misin- | 
formed cither by .iail officials or 
prisoners." Gavin said. 

Councilors struck back with the 
charge that jail officials were not 
even con.sullcd by the Parole Boaid. 
when a convict was being given a 
hearing for a parole. 

Members of the board ridiculed 
thi.", saying the wardens of the 
prisons had a standing invitation te< 
attend such hearings, and were urged 
to do so and contribute any informa- 
tion at their disposal. 

To prove the disagreements be- 
tween the board and wardens Coun- 
cilors cited yesterday the case of a 
19-ycar-old youth who was sentenced 
I to Concord and paroled after serv- 
I ing a few month.s. , 

While on parole the youth commit- 
I ted a felony and was :;cntenced to 
; Charlestown ft;r several years. On the 
I completion of his sentence his parole 
1 from Concord was revoked by the 
j board and he was returned to that 
I institution. 

Councilors ebjcctcd to the crimin- 
al's return to Concord, but Parole 
Board members said he had the mind 
of a child and was unfit to lake a 
place in society. Charlestown oflt- 
cials. the Councilor.s contended, toid

The approval at Washington of the 

Initial expenditure of $1,000,000 on 

the channel of Boston Harbor was ^ 

: hailed by Gov Curley this afternoon , 

' as the successful culmination of a ^.i- i 

•iyear fight, and a .step which will I 

make Boston one of the Icadinf; ports 

Of the world. , „ 

The new channel, the Governor 
Raid will accommodate the largest 
ships on the seas, and will save ship- 
ping lines hundreds of thousands of 
dollars in tug boat expenses, uhich 
will be cut to a minimum here and 
amount to as much at $2.'5,000 a ship 
In some ports. 

The SI, 000.000 allotment rei)resents 
only part of the $4..WO.O0O to beex- 
pended on the harbor by the Gov- 
ernment, and ceimpletion of the entiro 
work will give this city ;i broad, deep 
channel from Presidents Roads \o Uic 
Charlestown Navy Yard. 

"I think this is one of the most 
Important things this state has ac- 
complished in many years." the Oov'- 
' crnor said of the allotment. "Why it 
will make Beislon one of the busiest 
ports in the world. Large ship.-! will 
not only cease to fear coming here. 
' but will come here willingly and at 
Bii economic saving."

COUNCIL VOTES 
FOR COURTHOUSE 

Approves Legislative Act 
, for Building, 16 to 4 



I HP <nin Kome repairs would have , 
I to bo made at City HaH. asserting : 
i it is in a bad condition from stand- , 
; point of safety and sanilation. He i 
I plans anolhcr confercncp relative to! 
1 this witii Building Commissioner Ed- I 
j ward nocmer. As regards the City 
I Council chamber, ihc Mayor said ; 
I that, if ocra;qon arises when the : 
I chamber is threatened with a crowd, [ 
j the meetings might have to be trans- t 
1 ferrcd to Faneuii Hall or some oth^r 
i building. 

The meeting was the last but one 
i of the present Council. The last is 
I scheduled for next Saturday at 11 
o'clock. 

The proposed ordinance submitted 
by Mayor Mansfield calling for re- 
organization and con.'^olidation of 
city departments was rejected by the 
: Council which passed it back to the 
'■ Mayor. He can submit it to the in- 
' coming Council. In an order offered 
[ by Councilor Clement A. Norton, the 
j Ma.vor was asked to include in the 
ordinance a provision protecting the 
Civil Service lating of ail employes 
affected by the confolidation or re- 
j organizaiioii. 



The Citj' Council yesterday pave 
its approval by a vote of 16 to 4 : 
to the Legislative act for a new- 
courthouse, and at the same time , 
learned that in the opinion of 
Mayor Mansfield there is little ! 
chance of a new City Hall. [ 

Young's Hotel, which the Mayor 
had in mind to use while a new 
City Hall was building, it devel- i 
oped yesterday, will probably be 
used by the Courthouse Commi.<;- 
sion, if and when it finally obtains 
Federal approval for housing of 
disrupted court activities while a 
new structure is erected. 

A new (.loiDioiise at a cost be- 
tween $4,230,000 and $,^,000,000, the 
limit imder the act of the Legis- 
lature, appears to be only pros- 
pective though its sponsor.s expect 
early approval in "Washington and 
allocation of the Federal share of 
funds. ' 

This week B. A. Bowman. Fed- 
eral engineer from Washington is 
expected here to study the propo- . 
sition and it is imdorstood that if j 
he approve.s, Washington will, j 
Courthouse sponsors have placed a i 
I finger in Washington on part of ' 
i $6,000,000 which, according to Col 
: Joseph A. Rourke, commissioner 
! designated by Gov Curlcy, Massa- 
! chusctts munirrptrtrtitrs" failed to 
I grasp after it had been allocated 
I to Massachusetts. 
I The present plans call for an 18- 
story building on the site of the 
I old Tombs. The building will tie op. 
] to the present courthouse, which, 
after the IR-story wing is abided, 
1 will then be completely recon- 
structed. 



Mnsih/ Boston Labor 

During (hi; conjiricratifn of the 
courthouse project. Councilor Robert j 
G. Wilson Jr tried to l^arn what pro- j 
portion of the labor on the project j 
would be from Boston. He learned j 
that aliens would not be employed ' 
and that possibly 90 percent of the i 
mechanics and laborers would be ; 
Boston citizens. 

In executive session there appeared I 
1o be sentiment in favor of tabling 
the Courthouse act. The six Council- 
ors who voted against taking it from 
committee were all lawyers; Wilson. 
Shatluck. Norton. Tobin, Brackman 
and Roberts. Later, Tobin and Brack- , 
marl voted for approval. ; 

Col Joseph A. Rourke, former Pub- , 

lie Works Commissioner of Boston. 

was spokesman for the project. He! 

said there would be no land taking, 

and that the Federal Government v/as 

even going fo help on the matter of 

furniture and interest on construction 

bonds. The proposition, according to 

, Cal Rourke. was an exceptional one 

[of which the city should take ad- 

' vantage. The Federal Government 

allotment he said would be 82,151,000. 

Councilor Norton a.'ked Mayor 
Mansfield to request the Welfare De- 
partment not to reduce by even 35 
j cents, the allowance of those on wel- 
fare under the plan to pay by check. 
Recipients ha\e been paid in round 
sums— for cxamnlc, $7 a week. Tech- 
nically their allowance was $6.65. 
Payment by check would be to the 
penny. 

Norton al.'o said he did not believe 
proper burial could be given the poor 
at $22 a head. He asked a more 
equitable policy.

r:c3i 1935 
Our Mail Bag 

Finds Statutes Require 
\ Ful! Time on This Job 

To the Editor of The Herald: 

According to the newspapers, IBcn- 
ator Conroy was appointed by the 
Governor as a member of the indus- 
tria y - ' B uMi nt board, but still, in 
spite of this fact. Is planning to con- 
tinue as a member of the Massachu- 
setts Senate with the approval of a 
majority of the industrial accident 
board, and apparently, also, as in 
another newspaper report, in accord- 
ance with some opinion of the at- 
torney-general, whether accurately 
reported or not I do not know, that 
such a proceeding in within the law. 
As an ordinary citizen who is In- 
terested in his government, this situ- 
ation seemed to me peculiar, so I 
went to a library and looked at the 
statute book, which. Incidentally, 
seemed to me an exceedingly fat and 
awkward Ijook for anybody to use. 
However, by using the index. I found 
that the industrial accident board Is 
provided for in chapter 24 of this fat 
volume called "The General Laws," 
which provides that there "shall be 
a board of seven members" each of 
whom is to receive "such salary not 
exceeding S6000, as the Governor and 
council determine" and that the 
chairman shall receive not e.\ceeding 
$6500. The statute then continues, 
"The members shall devote their 
whole lime in business hours to the 
work of the board." 

Now, as an ordinary citizen who 
assumes that the English language 
as used by our law-making body 
means what English-speaking people 
understand it to mean. I am at a loss 
to understand how a member of the 
industrial accident board can "devote 
his whole time in business hours to 
the work Of the board" and at the 
wwiU ' Mi i n perform his duties as a 
member of the Senate, which meets 
during the working hours of the day 
for atK)Ut six months of the year. ! 
I understand that the senators 
are paid for their services in Sen- 
ate and should attend to their duties 
and certainly the law which I have 
quoted intends that the common- 
wealth should have the continuous 
services of each member of the in- 
dustrial accident board except In 
c8.se of Illness and ordinary vaca- 
tions. 

The opinions of lawyers sometimes 
seem strange to laymen and if it Is 
true that the attorney-general has 
ruled that It is possible for a man to 
do the impossible by holding these 
two positions at the same time, per- 
haps you can explain it to the public. 
At least one citizen does not under- 
stand It. H R. BLACK.

WITH THE SCHOOLBOYS 

Clear the courts for action. Th( 
Catholic league gets under way to- 
night with four basketball games 
and the excitement should be In- 
tense. Maiden Catholic is not anti- 
cipating the early games with toe 
much glee, for the Brother Baptist 
club has not had much time to prac- 
tice since the post-sea.son football 
games. The other eight teams are in 
good shape, however. 



Robert Dclanc«y of Dedham Is 
rated as one of the outstanding 
track hopes fcr the coming indoor 
.season, and not just because Col- 
son says so, either. He was unde- 
feated last year, and he looks good 
for plenty of points this winter. He 
runs the 300 or 600, and does some 

broad jumping. 

Chelsea High basketball history 
will turn back to 1025 for a repeti- 
tion of Friday night's scene when 
Arlington visits Chelsea. Capt. Al 
Perkins definitely is slated to start 
at centre as did his brother Cy, who 
captained the '25 quintet. Julius 
Alpert was a member of the 525 
squad and brother Norman may 
start Friday at a guard post. 



Now that Earl Keily and Andy 
Reagan are rounding into shape, the 
IcJt forward job on the Winthrop 
High hoop team Ls a close race be- 
tween these lads. Capt. Dewey Har- 
rigan has a strong h Id on the other 
forward Dost. In the back court, 
football captain-elect Tom Welch. 



The Maiden club goes to Revere 
for its opener, while Henrv Mc- 

v^ai.iij .-, v.^o.^ni.airt. uuoi.i, tiiKUivc.io . tr»,»if) winter or t>iii 

a powerful foe from St. Mary's High" may oust Haroia winuc 
of Brookline. Paul Morris and Beckler from their jobs. 



George Kerr head a list of Brookline 

luminaries. 



Mi.s.?ion of Roxbury goes over to 
Somerville to play St. Clement'.s. 
and St. Mary's of Lynn tackles St. 
Charles of Waltham. Mt. Mary's has 
had plenty of practice this fall, and 
the bovs will be able to see just how 
much good it ha.-? done them. 

I Roxbury Latin's hockey team, 
which opened with a 3-0 victory over 
the alumni last week, will play an 
Informal game at 10;30 this morn- 
ing. A group of Boston Latin boys 
will offer the competition at the 
West Roxbury rink. 

Gov. Dummcr's ba.sketball pros- 
pects are exceptionally bright, for 
Coach Dick Hcarn will have several 
velerans when he starts practice 
after the holidays. Fred Cool. Dick 
Francis, Aaron Goodale, Gordon 
Vaughan and Dud FoUansbce are 
Included In the ll-st of experienced 
players. 



Immaculate Conception helps pry 
the lid from the Catholic league 
basketball campaign, tonight, by 
playing host to Maiden Catholic, tne 
football champions. It will be Mai- 
dens first start In basketball as a 
member of the circuit and there Is 
considerable interest in their hoop 
showing. 



The hockey .squad at Ashburnham 
al.so Is proml.slng. Dick Curtis, Dick 
Pierce, Cordis Sargent and RoUln 
Steele will give Coach Henry Phlp- 
pen a veteran nucleus on which to 
build. 



Allhouh Ralph CoLson now Is at 
State Teachers' College in Fltch- 
burg, he still is interested in Ded- 
ham High. He claims .some sort of 
champion.ship for that school, which 
was undefeated in all (.".'.ml meets in 
1935. Ed Peterson is coaching the 
club this year, and Ralph predicts 
great things for his boys.

DEC 3 1 1935 

Legislature Aims 
At Short Session 
I In Massachusetts 



The Massachu-setts Legislature, 
opening its 1936 ses.sion tomorrow 
with 367 measures already on the 
docket, will seek a June 1 proroga- 
tion, it was indicated today. 

Mindful that the state pre-prl- 
mary conventions, as well as the 
national party conventions, are 
scheduled for June, the 240 repre- 
sentatives and 40 senators are now 
geared to a session much shorter 
than the 1935 Legislature which pro- 
rogued on Aug. 17. — 
Shorter Session 
The number of measures filed to 
date is an indication that the ses- 
sion will be reasonably brief. Last 
year at this time 438 bills had been 
filed in the House and Senate, com- 
pared with today's 367. It Ls ex- 
pected 2131 bills will be filed up to 
Jan. 16, 1935. Jan. 11 is the last reg- 
ular filing day. 

The 1936 legLslatlon, to date, pre- 
sents few new i.sBuea. Tlie mettsures 
range from a labor appeal for rati- 
"callon of the federal child labor 
wnendmcnt to a move to repeal the 
norsc- and dog-racing act. 

ihe Q^iwiior in his annual mes- 
»^A I? "^ LcKuslature tomorrow 
1 ™°"^*'Edly will present .some new 

Proxlml?; The message runs ap- 
proximately 12.000 words. 

Small-Loan Bill 

nans Thl nl"^^'''''' "^^^-^^ "" small 
loans. The present limit l^ •? nor 

''''\^ "^?nth. One represcntalWe 
would slash It to 2\<, ner c7nf ^,i ., 
another would cut a'.v'C' lower. 



Like other legislation this bill has 
appeared often. 

Several legi.slators nre seeking to 
reduce the eligibility age for old- 
age assistance from 70 to 65 years. 
This measure failed last year be- 
cause of the additional expense. 
Public Utilities 

The usual public utility measures 
seeking lower rates for consumers 
will be presented. A bill has been 
filed to provide for election of the 
members of the State Public Utili- 
ties Commission, instead of appoint- 
ment by the Governor. The theory 
is that the puWlr-^ill thus be able 
to tlirow out those commissioners 
who fail to serve them well. 

A petition to provide an easier 
road to municipal ownership of 
liohtinR plants has been Mibniitted. 
Several similar measures are now 
being prepared. 

Public election of the state insur- 
ance commissioner is sought in an- 
other mea.sure. Some pensons hold 
that the only way to obtain lower 
automobile insurance rates is to 
make the commissioner directly re- 
sponsible to the public. 
In.surance Bill 

That hardy perennial, flat rate in- 
.surance. is al.so before the 1936 ses- 
sion, and undoubtedly will suffer its 
usual fate, defeat. Before the year 
passes, the bill to establish a state 
fund for compuLsory insurance prob- 
ably will be filed once more. 

Francis J. DeCellcs. state Insur- 
ance commissioner, has already 
asked the Legislature to luiUify an 
1820 law which has forced him to 
add $6.50 to the guc.st rate insurance 
cost. 

Oamblin^ Issue 

One of the major battles of the 
session will ensue over gambling leg- \ 
islation. The special commission on : 
taxation has reported in favor of ' 
taxation of numerous small gambling 
Bames. A state lottery bill has been 
submitted. 

Hor.se and dog race betting faces 
an initiative petition demanding its 
reijcal. The Legislature mu.st vote on 
the petition at this session. Even it 
the bill is defeated, it may be sub- 
muted to the voters by the gather- 
ing of 5000 additional signatures, a 
comparatively easy task. 

Biennial .Sessions 

Biennial se.ssjons may cause the 

hf' ''lot "^i\^ °f ^^^ >'*"«•■• as it did 
in 1935. The Legislature cannot 
ngam (lodge a vote on the i.ssue The 
t^onstitution requires a 1936 vote on 
tlie petition. 

The state preprimary system will 

.sufTe,- a new attack. Last year the 

attack failed, despite Governor Cur- 

eys recommendation. What will 

'appen dm-ing the year is uncer- 

schedMipn'r""."'''' "■'"' '■onvcntions

Labor is .seeking to raise the com 
pujsor y , school age fr om 14 fo fg 



years. Tliis measure l.s another 
hardy perennial. It gathered con- 
siderable strength last year, but was 
finally defeated. Another bill which 
may have labor support is one pro- 
pasing a memorial to Congress ask- 
ing that the work of women in in- 
dustrial plants after 6 p. m. be 
prohibited. 

Subway Measure 

Another effort is being made to 
force removal of the Boston Elevated 
structure and to substitute a sub- 
w-ay. Public ownership of the Ele- 
vated has also been proposed. 

The proposed sliding scale of rate 
making for gas and electric plants 
will al.so come before the Legislature. 
The .special commi-ssion sLudyuig the 
proposal is practically ready to rc- 
l)ort. The sliding scale may develop 
into a major i.ssue before the Legis- 
lature prorogues. 

The legislators also will have an- 
other opportunity to approve or turn 
down the measure to aboli.sh capital 
punishment, and another to establish 
a mercy clau.se in the law regarding 
first degree miu'der. This latter bill 
provides that life imprisonment may 
be reported by a jury, instead of the 
present mandatory death .sentence.

I Up and Down Beacon Hill 



Political Reformers 

Recent claims that much of the 
investigating now going on in Bos- 
ton in connection with the alleged 
school job-selling and also the im- 
minent Dolan inquiry are, prompted 
wholly by political motives bring 
up the question as to how great an 
extent a political aspirant Is aided 
by a reputation as a zealcus "re- 
, former." There is, after all, but one 
thing in Which most politicians are 
Interested, and that is votes. The 
means of increasing personal popu- 
larity and con.sequently winning 
more votes arc to a great extent 
limited. Thus there occurs periodi- 
cally in all citie-s efforts to uncover 
graft, for most politicians are un- 
I der the impression that nothing 
; will demonstrate to the electorate 
1 their greatef fitness fi^r higher ofSce 
j than to uncover evidences of graft. 
Past experience, however, has not 
always borne out this common be- 
lief. In fact on more than one oc- 
casion the unpredictable waves of 
popular favor have turned against 
the "reformer." 

Foley's Case 

Although there is no reason to 
suspect that District Attorney Wil- 
liam J. Foley in pushing the school 
probe Is animated by any but a 
desire to fulfil! the position to which 
he was elected, it has been fre- 
quently intimated that he would not 
be adver.se to some favorable pub- 
licity before the mayoral elections 
of 1937. Although he has not en- 
tered the lists he is expected to be 
one of the strongest candidates in 
the fight 

Speculation is rife as to what ef- 
fect the .school commit tee investi- 
gation will have on Mr. Foley's 
mayoral chances if he discredits any 
member of the committee. Many be- 
lieve that public opinion in certain 
sections of the city would more 
than oflfsct a possible gain in others. 
South Boston's Vote 

Mr. Foley will depend in the next 
election upon a big vote in South 
Boston. South Boston, probably of 
all the sections of Boston, is least 
inclined to look favorably upon a 
"reformer" and without his own dis- 
trict behind him Mr. Foley has little 
chance of election. 

In politics, as in most walks of 



life, people seem to be quick to for- 
get the misdeeds of a man con- 
victed, and .soon a wave of popular 
sympathy arises for him. A recent 
example of this is the triumphal re- 
turn of former Mayor James J. 
Walker to New York City, which he 
left a few years ago, rather than 
face serious charges. 

Curley's Aid Sought 

The nexT'mayoralty fight Is ex- 
pected to see an Intense undercover 
fight between the forces of two 
prospective candidates. City Coun- 
cilor Joseph McGrath and School 
Committeeman Maurice J. Tobin 
for the support of the [wwerful Cur- 
ley organization in Boston. Both 
have a right to expect much from 
the Governor. Mr. McGrath being 
the State Democratic chairman, 
and Mr. Tobin having leceived the 
support of Governor Curley four 
jTars ago. 

During the last school committee 
campaign, however, there were in- 
dications that a break occurred 
between the Tobin and Curley forces 
and that Governor Curley hoped to 
see Mr, Tobin defeated at the polls. 
The final vote, a 16,000 increase over 
his vote of four years ago, was inter- 
pi'eted as a blow at the Governor, 
because without support of the Gpv- 
ernor's organization many felt that 
Mr. Tobin would have difficult/ in 
being re-elected. 

Tobin's Strength 

Mr. Tobm's strong showing in the 
.school fignt may cause Mr. Curley 
to decide to supix)rt him, although a 
Cuney break with Mr. McGrath 
seems impossible One thing about 
the next mayoralty tight may be 
predicted with confidence, and that 
is, if both uf. Tobin and Mr. 
McGratli are cfJid mates, that the 
latter will make the most ol the 
present school investigation in his 
campaign. 

If the present split among Demo- 
cratic forces of the city exists two 
years hence when the voters go to 
the polls to cast their votes for 
mayor, it will be an ideal time for 
the only Repubhcan candidate so far 
in the field, former mayor Malcolm 
E. Nichols. Always popular in Boston, 
even among many Democrats, Nich- 
ols, many believe, has an excellent 
opportunity to slip in between a di- 
vided Demociatic field. J. G. H.

GREATEST DIXNER OF THEM 
ALL: South Boston's Johnnie Mc- 
Carthy got the town's best Yuletlde 
dinn^.. becauae it was precisely what 
he wanted and against everything on 
the menu. The boy was one of several 
hundred guests of Steuben's, a chain 
restaurant hj'steni. and had been recom- 
mended by Suffolk District Attorney 
William J. Foley, the great party be- 
ing, of course, "on the house." 

But Johnnie looked with disdain on 
the plate piled high before him with 
turkey. S'luash, potatoes, jelly and all 
the rest. "If you don't mind," he said, 
"1 don't want turkey. " He was quite 
polite about it. When word got to Man- 
ager Schneider he issued orders that 
Johnnie ■was to be given any kind of 
dish— no matter what it was— his 
whimsy dictated. Even terrapin, souffles, 
puddings, pies. Customers may be al- 
ways right, but this one was to be 
royal. 

Well, what would Johnnie have? So 
far Hs the waiter was concerned 
Johnnie was Iv. R. H. the Prince of 
Wales. 

•'I'd very much like." said Johnnie, 
"a hot dng," Hot dogs, as a matter of 
fact, were as scarce just then as turkey 
was plentiful. But Johnnie had his hot 
dog and in gratitude insisted on giving 
the waiter a flve-ccnt tip. 
• • - • 
F'AlR ENOUGH: The Rev. C. Gordon 
BrownViUe, pastor of Tremont Temple, 
wants to be as kind to his Board of 
Deacons as they've been to him. 

They had just presented him for the 
season with a heavy leathered arra 
chair and an ottoman to go with it. A 
mere look at its lounging comfort in- 
vites slumber. 

"Now, now," one of his admirers sug- 
gested, "it's such a temptation to have 
this in your study here! It'll act like an 
opiate i»nd the moment you sit down in 
it you'll fall asleep." 
j "Well, well." replied the Temple's 
! preacher, "and why not give me a 
chair In which I can fall to sleep— I put 
them to sleep often enough." 

TOWN'S MOST UNIQUE JOB: Bob 
Murray's exquisite talent is probably 
the mo.st impossible to replace of any 
craftsman around town. Bob's Job in 
Fi\neuil market is transforming ordin- 
ary chicken into boneless chicken. I'er- 
harva anybody can de-bone a chicken, 
hut to do it a la Bob Murray is all the

AMONG HIS GIFT.S: of the hundreds 
of gifts received by Governor Curley on 
Christmas Day from his host of admir- 
ers throughout the nation, none de- 
lighted him more or touched a more 
responsive chord in his heart than an 
oil painting of his youngest son, Fran- 
cis, 12, presented to him by the mem- 
bers of hi.s family. 

The painting, about which he knew 
nothing, was unveiled in his home on 
Christmas morn. It Is a three-quarter 
life size painting of Francis as he ap- 
peared on the day of Mary Curley's 
wedding at which ceremony he was a 
pape. He Is wearing the page suit, 
which. In addition to the joy that the 
Governor would naturally experience 
out of receiving such a gift, al.so serves 
to keep in him a pleasant memory of 
one of the happiest moments in his 
life. The painting is the work of Mrs. 
Bertha L. Sullivan of 21 Mellen street, 
Dorchester, organist in St. Mark's 
Church, Dorchester.

A request lor removal of the Stale

arliltrary rulings are rasponslhle for 
much of the unrest In the correctional 
Instllutlonfi of the State will be prc- 
sentcil to Governor_Jiorley tomorrow, 
according to Executive Councillor 
James ,1. Brennan ot Somcrvllle. 

Councillor Brennan made his an-

' In the council had visited the Concord 
Reformatory and had talked with of- 
nclals and inmates ot tliat institution. 

l''((llowlng a visit to Stale prison last 
week, members ot the council indicated 
their belief that much of the unrest 
there was due to the fact that the 
Parole Board had turned down practi- 
cally all requests for parole at the 
termination of two-thirds ot ihe mini- 
niurn sentence o£ prisoners, unless they 
had no court record prior to the time 
of their pendInK impri.wnment.

Will Back "Happy Warrior' "to the

for the Presidential Nomination 

I.EXO.X. Dec. .10 — Former Governor

Governor Alfred K. Smith of New York 
to Washington Jan. 25 when Ihe 1S2S 
Pret-identiai I,>emocratic candidate is 
scheduled to speak at a dinner of the 
American Liberty League. 

,^r. Kl>-, who was in Lenox today 
representing 2S summer remdents at a 
tax hearing with the Hoard of .Asses- 
sors, said hp will iiack Smith to the 
sky if the "Happy Warrior " Intends to 
run for the Presidential nomination 
against President Roosevell. 

Asked if he~Were surprised that Smith 
Is reported to have declined Ihe invita- 
tion extended to him by President and 
Mrs. Roosevelt the former G'>vernor 
of this ' 'onimonwealth said: "No. The\' 
ha\e had three years to consult him 
about State and national affairs and 
they never nnce asked his opinion about 
a thing. Why should they start now'?" 

When a.--ked what he thought Mr. 
Smith would sny in his much antici- 
pated speech. Mr. Ely replied: 

"I think the people in general know 
liow he stands in relation to the .New 
Deal and Prettident Roose\pit, After 
his s|)cech I am mire he will have made 
himself quite clear about Ihe Roo.sevel- 
tlan adnilnlslration." 

I''nrnifr (Io\ernor lOIy, who nominated 
the former .New Vork State Governor 
for President at Ihe Democrnllc na- 
tional convention In Chicago in 1932, 
said that he did not know whether 
or not Mr. Smith intended lo run for 
the Democratic nomination, but If he 
should choose to run "I will back him 
to Ihe sky," he added. 

Asked what he thought Ihe people 
of .MHSsachuscUs and Ihe East in gen- 
eral thought of the .New Deal, Mr. Ely 
replied, "I think the people are very 
«keptical about Mr. Roosevelt and his 
New Deal."

Ending Parole Board Not 
I the Cure 

councillor James J. Brennaii of Som- 
trville declares that the Parole Board as 
now constituted must go. There Is in- 
timation that the abolition of this agency ' 
in the treatment of offenders against ; 
Che law will also be demanded. Change j 
in membership is one thing. To wipe ! 
out the board altogether would be a i 
blunder so great that it is hard to con- j 
ceive of its serious consideration. The 
charge against the present membership 
of the board Is that its course tends to 
unrest and disturbance in the prisons. 
Convicts who are mad at the board may 
riot. They may even commit murder. 
But were they released they would be- 
come honest citizens never again to re- 
sort to crime. That, at least, would .seem 
to be the conclusion logically to be 
drawn from the reported views of .some 
of the members of the Council who are 
said to take the ground that release 
should be automatic at the expiration of 
cwo-thtrds of a sentence, provided the 
convict has obeyed the prison r\iles. 

Recent murders committed by con- 
victs bent on e.scape do not, however, 
appear to have been inspired by resent- 
ment at the course of the Parole Board. 
Philip Nolsin, the convict who was shot 
and killed during the break of Dec. 3, 
with its accompaniment of other violent 
death, had been in the prison less than 
a month. He was at the beginning of a 
sentence of from sixteen to twenty years.

New Year's | 

Massachusetts observes New Year'.s 
Day in a lugubrious, listless way, rem- j 
iniscent of Christmas under Governor ! 
Bradford. It took nearly three centuries i 
of continual prodding at the Legislature 
i)f the Commonwealth before it could 
be brought to make the Fir.st of January 
a red-letter day in the calendar. And 
now that we've got it we don't quite 
know what to do with it. The true-bhie 
Puritan spends the tedious hours clean- 
ing the cellar and sadly .summing up his 
Christmas bills. The, whole idea of hon- 
oring the double-faced heathen god 
Janus by a joyful celebration is as repug- 
nant to him as if Governor Curley were 
to order an annual revtVSToT the gladi- 
atorial combats of the Coliseum. 

A few years ago, before Massachusetts 
gave in and agreed to shut up shop on 
New Year's, it was easy to tell a New 
Yorker who had lately settled among us 
by his shocked recoil when he learned 
that he must work on New Year'.s, He 
went to his place of employment in a 
mutinous temper, giving grudging lip 
service to his ta.sk-masters. feeling that 
If he so much as sold a pound of butter 
he wa.s recreant to the faith of his 
Manhattanese forbeans. 

But even in Manhattan lew of the 
burghers are old enough to recall the 
•splendid New Year Days of the olden 
time. Gentlemen used to arise on the 
great morning clear-eyed and eager, 
i champing to be off on their round of 
calls. There had been no vinous revelry 
the night before. The last hours of the 
dying year had been more appropriately 
passed at watch-night 5er\'ice, the com- 
pany more intent upon .seeing the old 
year out than listening for the new step 
at the door. The foggy mind, the wan- 
dering eye, the uncertain step would be 
in evidence twenty-four hours later, after 
calls at a hundred houses offering good

Gov. Curley j 
Backs Down 
on Goodwin 

Decides" Against Ouster After 

Conference with Registrar 

on Labor Activity 



Governor Curley reverssed his stand 
today and decided to retain Frank A. 
Goodwin as registrar of motor vehicles, 
despite the registrar's activities in labor 
controversies. The governor last weelii 
annnunced that he had R-iven the rcgistrarf 
the choice of rflin.iuishjng his Sta^e office' , 
or of tailing: no Uinher part in outsidet i vehicles." 
jmatters. | 

Goodwin, in defiance of the governor's ; 
order, insisted th.it he would rather leave I 
his $B0OO a year position than tie depriveil 
oi his right cf free speech and action. 

The governor annotineed his decision 
after he bad conferred with Goodwin for 
.'Jmost an horn-. The conference followed 
Mr. Curiey's retnrn to the Slate House 
tor the first time since last I'^riday. He 
lias been confined to his lion 
severe cold. 

Goodwin arrived at the governor's office 
soon after the governor and was Immedi- 
ately ushered in'.o conference. 
I Reporters asked Goodwin If he had 
hrotight his resignation with him and he 
replied, "l have n l." 

After the conference tlie governor 
:tsiicd a statement in which he said that 
he had been convinced that Goodwin had 
given valual>Ie service to the shoe indus- 
.ly an an unpaid adviser for a labor 
crganizatlon and tlint there was no justi- 
lial)le cour.-:e oilier than (o continue him 
UH h«id rf the motor registry. 

"I l:new that when his excellency got 
■;!I the facts, he vvou'd change his mind, 
i appreciate his action." 

The governor's statement follows: 

"I have confene.i with .Mr. Goodwin 
today afti^r making a thorough investi- 
gation his ."ctivlties in the field of sh.i. 
manufactnr.ng and I am convinced thai 
'here is justitlcaiion tor the position thai 
ic has taken. 

"1 am not swayed in this decision bV, 
;he fact th.U hi.s work Is carried on dui-- 
:ng his own time and not durln.ij the 
'.me of the State, and I even believe that 
the iiuestion of ethics of the head of tin 
mportant department interfering in nijt- 
ter.s of thi.s character may W( 11 bo waived 
'n view of the results that have been 
achieved in the preservation of an im- 
portant ba.sic Massachusetts industry. 

"Durins 'he pn.8t two and a half years 
of the operation of the organization of 
workers, in which Mr. Goodwin has been

and regulations and a real spirit of co- 



Thout;h Mayor F. W. Mansfield has 
given up all hope of building a new eitj 
hall with the aid of Govertiment fund? 
the proposed new Suffolk Countv Court- 
house appears to be near realization. 
Approval of the 1" \V A project was given 
yes'orday by the Boston city council. j 

The vote w.as taken after Joseph A. i 
Rourke, Governor Curiey's representative! 
on the courthouse commission, told the 
council that he had been unofRcially in- ' 
formed by P VV A officials in Washington 
that the Government grant for the JS.- 
000,000 project would be forthcoming. A 
Government ensrlneer will come to Boston 
to confer with Mayor Mansfield, Governor 
James M.,£u«ley and others. 

.\Ir. Rourke outlined the plans by which 
the Federal Government would contrib- 
ute $2,151,000, the State $854,700 and 
the city, $1,994,300. It Is proposed (o 
demolish the brick and stone sections 
of the presant courthouse on Ppmerset 
street, and erect an elghteen-storv build- 
ing 120 feet by 1(!2. No land 'takings; 
will be involved. Youns's hotel would be i 
rented as tamporary quarters for the,

"The conditions that obtain In Brockton 
are in striking contrast to conditions ob^

of the Commonwealth, notably in I^ynn 
and Haverhill. Provided the same happj-

other sections o£ Massachusetts and thai, 
harmony can replace hatred and continu-

Governor James M, Curley was in- 
•lormed today by ASIutant General Wil- 
liam I. Rose that 400 men have been 
.^et at work in clearing the site of lb"

at Bourne on Capo Cod. The governor 
said the number of workers will be in- 
creased to 700 by the end of the week 
and that It is indicated that, the work 
wil continue for six months. 

Because of the larse amount of Fed-

Governor Explains ' 
Boston Harbor Plans 

Stale Has Mgde Available 
i$l,300,000 to Go with I 
S1,000,000 from U. S. j 

Commenting tcday on the approval by 
Washington authorities of an initial ex- 
penditure of $1,000,000 of the J4. 500, 000 
sought for Improvement of Boston har- 
bar. Governor James JI, Curley said the 
grant of funds represents "the culmina- 
tion fa fight waged for more than 
twenty-flve years by every organlTSitlon 
and individual itnerestcd in the commer- 
cial future of New England. 

"The completion of the work will give 
Boston a channel from President's roads 
on the outer harbor line, to the Boston 
Navy Yard at Charlestown, a distance of 
Ave miles, five hundred feet in width and 
forty feet in depth at mean low water. 
In addition, a turning base will l>e es- 
tablished opposite the Army base, one 
mile in diameter. 

"These irapiovements will permit o£ the 
Btiper-commerce-carrlers of every country 
operating, without the use of lugs or 
other agencies which represent great ex- 
pent:* in the docking or departure of a 
steamship. It is estimated that the 
docUlns of a super-commeree-carrier, at 
the present time, represents an expendi- 
ture In the neighborhood of $10,000 to 
$;5,00'i. and a saving of this sum tinquea- 
tionably will make Boston more attractive 
to the super-commercecarrlers of the 
world than it ever has been. 

"The State has made available the. sum 
of $1,300,000. of which $800,000 will be 
exix^nded for the foundation of Common- 
wealtli rier, contracts for which work 
have been awarded, and the remainder 
for tho development improvement and 
dredftins of contiguous waterways, in- 
cIudlnK the dredniinsr of upper Fore River 
channel, for the benefit of the major con- 
cern-"? located I'-ere. namely Cities Serv- 
ice, Bsthlehem Steel Corporation, the Edi- 
son Company and others. 

"Now that tha Federal Government 
has made available a portion of the sum 
orljinnlly a'trred upon, tho State will 
proceed with Hs portion of the w.a-k at 
once."

Mass. Legisla ture 

Will Con vene^ 

Tomorrow 

REDISTRiaiNG 

nm LOOMS 

AMONGSOLONS 



By DONALD R. WAUGH 

The Massachusetts Legislature— 
the 149th Great and General Court of 
the commonwealth— convenes In the 
State House tomorrow for its second 
annual session. It will be a session 
pregnant with political dynamite. 
REDISTRICTING SCHEDULED 
Not alone the fact that a year of 
state and national campaigns is to 
begin emphasizes the political side 
of the legislative doings. This is the 
session at which the legislative, 
councillor and congressional dis- 
tricts are to be redrawn by the Leg- 
islature. 

The fact that the Governor, 
James M. Curley, is a Democrat and 
the two hrfiCnCTfts of the Legislature 
narrowly Republican will make the 
redlstrictlng matter more difficult 
of solution. The political complexion 
of the state for the next decade j.s 
Involved. 

At the session which will open to- 
xnorrow the Senate remains with 21 . 
Republicans and 19 Democrats, but ' 
the coalition of Democrats and recal- 
citrant Republicans continues in 
control. 

In the House the Republicans have 
gained a seat since the last session 
and the Une-up is now 125 Republi- 
cans and 115 Democrats. 

There Is one new s«*nator, William 
H. MoBweeney of Salem, who suc- 
ceeds the lat« Mbert PVerce. Mc- 
Sweeney l8 a Republican, as was 
Pierc;e. 



In the House the new members are 
Axel U. Sternlof of Worcester, suc- 
ceeding the late Vlctpr Rolander. 
and William Stockwell of Maynard, 
succeeding Frank C. Sheridan, re- 
signed. The new members are both 
Republicans, although Sheridan was 
a Democrat. 

MORAN SEEMS SECURE 
A few months ago there was con- 
siderable discussion of the possibil- 
ity of attempts being made to oust 
the presiding officers of the two 
branches— James G. Moran in the 
Senate and Leverett Saltonstall in 
the House— when the new session 
convened. But today this talk had 
practically disappeared. Although 
the old line Republican organization 
might like to replace Moran, there 
if. fear that such an attempt would 
Imperil Saltonstall, an announced 
candidate for the Republican nomin- 
ation for Governor. 

After the two branches have 
completed their routine organlxa- 
tlon work tomorrow morning they 
will meet In joint convention at 
noon and listen to the annual mes- 
sage of Gov. Curley. Latest re- 
port* are that the messag* will be 
a long one, probably more than 60 
pages, and that It will bristle with 
recommendations for reorganiza- 
tion of the administration of the 
■tate's business. 

There will be few changes In com- 
mittee assignments in Senate atnd 
House, except to provide for the new 
members. 

There will be the unusual slt- 
yation this year of several men sit- 
ting as members of the LegLslature 
■who also hold important adminis- 
trative positions in the stale ser- 
vice. 

In the Senate, Senator Conroy of 
Fall River Is a member of the In- 
dustrial accident board. Senator 
Cavanagh of Cambridge is clerk of 
court in his home city and Senator 
Whitiyof Jamaica P4ain continues 
as head of the telephone and tele- 
graph division in the state de- 
partment of public utilities. In the 



House Representative Dean of 1 

Chllmark is commi-ssioner of con- [ 

serration. I 

SESSION NOT TO BE SHORT ' 

Although it will probably not be a 
short session, even though the state 
and national political conventions 
come In June, It Is not expected that 
the record-breaking length of last 
session, running to Aug. 15. will be 
approached. 

It is not a new thing for the Leg- 
islature to meet on a holiday. The 
constitution provides for the con- 
vening of the Legislature on the 
first Wednesday in January. This 
year it happens to fall on Jan. 1, as 
it did in 1930. ^ , 

Already 300 bills and reports have 
been filed In the House, fewer than 
usual at this time of year, and 75 In 
the Senate, a greater number than 
usual. But the time for filing bills 
Is not until the second Saturday of 
the ses.slon. Jan. 11. 

A number of old problems will be 
up again this year; proposed 
changes In the compulsory Insur- 
ance and liquor control laws, in 
municipal financing especially as 
afTectlng the city of Boston, ami in 
the preprlmary conventions. Bien- 
nial .sessions, with an evenly divided 
recess commission report on the 
subject, th death penalty and olhnr 
hardy annuals are on the docket 
again.

GOV. CURLEY 
BACKS WATER 
ONJOODIN 

Finds Registrar Is 

Right in Labor 

Activities 



By DONALD R. nAlGH 

Gov. Cuilpy today backed water 
on his ultimatum to Fi'an': A. Good- 
win llial he must, either give up his 
labor activities or resign as registrar 
of moto'' vrinclees. 

GOODWIN PERSUADES^HIM 
In an liour's conference with 
Goodwin in tlie Slate House, the 
Governor was persuaded by the 
registrar that wliat Goodwin had 
been doing had been to achieve 
somctliign important lor "an impor- 
tant basic Massachusetts industry." 
The Governor then said: 
"Under the circumstances, with 
a realization of the valued services 
rendered by Mr. Goodwin as regis- 
trar of motor vehicles and the 
equally valuable service he has 
been rendering an important basic 
industry, there Is no way in which 
I could justify any course other 
than to continue him as registrar 
of motor vehicles." 
Later, when he had returned to 
liis own office, Goodwin made the 
following comment: "I lincw when 
His Excellency got all the fact.? he 
would change his mind. I appreci- 
ate liis action very mtich. 

The Governor's switch today is a 
defeat for those labor leaders affili- 
ated with the American Federation 
of Labor who .sought Goodwin's 
scalp. They protested to tlie Gov- 
ernor against n speech in Haverhill 
by Gttodwin attacking the Boot <t 
Shoe Workers' Union of the A. F. of 
L. as a union of manufacturers. This 
union has been attempting to or- 
ganize Haverhill .shoe workers In 
opposition to the United Shoe <ft i 
Leather 'Workers' Union, which 
Goodwin helped launch in Brockton 
after a bitter controversy with the 
A. P. of L. affiliate. 

After Goodwin's Haverhill speech 
he was called on the carpet and given 
an ultimatum by the Governor that 
he must either re.sign or .stop taking 
part in labor controversies. The Gov- 
ernor said Goodwin hacj acted in an 
"unethical" manner. Goodwin de- 
nied this and later defied the Gov- 
ernor b,v saying he would continue — 
outside' his work as registrar— such 



activities as he i Goodwin i cotisw- 
cred proper. This put it up to the 
Governor. 

There the matter rested while the 
Governor was confined to his home 
over the week-end with a heavy cold. 

CURLEV BACK AT OFFICE 

Todav the Governor returned to 
his office in the State House and 
immediately sent for the registrar, 
who arrived promptly in a fighting 
mood, denying that he was prepared 
to resign. 

After a conference of an hour 
Goodwin left the Governor's office 
by the rear door, declining to make 
aiiv .statement on the situation. 

A short time later at his regular 
daily press confcrnce the Governor 
discus.sed the matter and said that 
while Goodwin had been in his office 
he had "made inquiries and checked 
the matter up 40 ways. I found that 
down in Brockton they had had a 
number of rows, but since the union 
has been functioning which Mr. 
Goodwin assisted they have been 
getting good wages and conditions i 
have been much better." i 

"Then you now uive Mr, Good- ; 

win your blessing?" the Governor ! 

was asked. , 

"Well," he replied." it is far 1 

harder to acknowledge an error ; 

than to stick to a false position." 

GIVES ST.XTEMENT , 

The Governor then handed outj 
the following prepared statement, i 
which had been gone over by Good- j 
win before he left the Governor's 
office. I 

"I have cotiferred with Mr. Prank 
A. Goodwin today, after making a 
thorough investigation of his activf-! 
ties in the field of shoe manvtfactur- 
ing, and I am convinced that there 
is .iustificntion for the position that 
he has taken. 

"I am not swayed in this decision 
by the fact that his work is carried 
oil d\u-ing his own time and not 
dtiring the time of the state, and I 
even believe that the question of 
ethics of the heart of an important 
department interfering in matters 
of this character may well be waived 
ill view of the results that have been 
achieved in the preservation of an 
important basic Massachusetts in- 
idustry. 

"During the past two and one- 
half years of the operation of the 
organiiation of workers in which 
Mr. Goodwin has been interested 
in the Brockton district, there has 
been peace in the industry, the 
men have found steady employ- 
ment with conditions satisfactory 
both as to wages and regulations, 
■ and a real spirit of co-operation 
between employer and employe has 
been developed. . The conditions 
that obtain in Brockton are In 
striking contrast to conditions ob- 
taininjT in the industry in other 
sections of the commonwealth, 
notably in Lynn and Haverhill. 
Provided the same happy results 
for the industry, for the emplo.ver 
and for the worker can be de- 



veloped in other sections of Massa- 
chusetts, and that harmony can 
replace hatred and continuity of 
employment can replace strikes 
and lockouts and 'red" agitation 
can be replaced by co-operation, 
there is no justification for any 
individual interested in the indus- 
trial life of the commonwealth or 
the welfare of its people in taking 
any steps that would prevent a 
consummation of results in other 
shoe centres similar to what has 
been established in the Brockton 
area.' 

• Under the circumstances with a 
realization of the valued services 
rendered by Mr. Goodwin as regis- 
trar of motor vehicles and the equal- 
ly valuable .services that he has been 
rendering an important basic in- 
dustry .there is no way in which I 
could justify any cour.se other than 
to continue him as registrar of motor 
vehicles. " 

In view of the fact that the Gov- 
ernor last week said he regarded the 
labor activities of the registrar as 
"uncthicBJ" considerable surprise 
was evidenced at the State House 
today over the statement now issued 
by the Governor. 

HAVERHILL UNITED GROUP 
THREATENS NEW ACTION 

HAVERHILL, Dec. 31 (APi— Rep- 
resentatives of the United Shoe & 
Leather Workers' Union, rejected by 
Haverhill shoe manufacturers in the 
formation of an agreement for 1936. 
said tcday "necessary action" would 
be compulsory unless terms were 
reached. 

All agreements with the united end 
tonight and a rival union, the Boot 
and Shoe Workers, claimed to have 
signed with 26 of the 30 firms in the 
city. This action followed a refer- 
endum yesterday when a meeting of I 
2000 of the city's 5000 shoe workers ] 
favored retention of the United 
union. 

.'Anthony Ltberato of the Lynn dis- 
trict council of the United, said yes- 
terday's \ote was a vindication of 
his union and added: 

"Should we fail to receive a satis- 
factory reply today we shall be com- 
pelled to take necessary action for 
our members on Jan. 2." 

Fred L. Cooper, representing the 
manufacturers, meanwhile is.sued a 
statement a.sserting they had signed 
with tlie Boot <t Shoe and would not 

I enter into negotiations with any 

■ other union, 

A mass meet Inn was .scheduled for 
late today a:id further ac".ion by the 

] United union was expected.

Curley Ready for 'Drastic Action' • 
Regarding State Board of Parole 



Abolition of the state board of 
parole appeared imminent today 
when Gov. Curley announced that 
iX the views of the executive council 
coincided with his, "dra.stic action" 
would be taken against the board. 

NO INCENTIVE, SAYS CURLEY 

Commenting on the statement of 
Councillor James J. Brcnnan of 
Somerville that he would ask the 
council tomorrow to recommend that 
the Governor order removal of the 
parole board, the Governor .said 
that he had received no report from 
the council as a result of its recent 
investigation of penal inn.stltution 
but that he had received, many 
letters recently complaining of the 
board's attitude on the real.se of 
prisoners. 

The Governor said: 

"The gist of all these letters lias ' 
been that tljcrc is no incentive for 
the men to conform to all rules and 
regulations and become model 
prisoners. If a man does conform to 
the rules and regulations and is a 
model prisoner the board of parple 
iust say.s that man is a wLse fellow— 
n fox and that he is just trying to 
deceive it. That Is a bad condition 
. . . bad situation and there seems 
to be substantial basis for its exis- 
tonce. If the views of the council 
coincide with mine drastic action 
should be taken. " 

BOARD MEMBER HITS BACK 

A stftterOwnprt and controlled Al- 
iiitrax, to hou.sc incorrigibles was 
iirsed today by P. Emmett Gavin of 
the state parole board, in answer to 
critics of the parole board And in 
the .same breath Gavin asked this 
question : 

"Who amone those who are do- 
ing the talking is thinltinif hi t«rnig 
of the public? 

"As I nee this job" he continued, 
"and accordini; to my oath of ofRce 
when I look this position on the 
parole hoard, it in to think not 
only about what the prisoner 
might want or what hl.s friends 
might want, but what the welfare 
of the public demands. 

"Law and order me.in more to 
mc than a plea from the friends 
of a man now (ioing time because 
he 1 sa thug. The public mu."»t be 
protected. That Is paramount. 

"An example will .show what I 
mean. I was recently atcuset of 
not co-operating with the head of a 
state institution because I refused 
to parole a prLsoner. The man's 
record in prison was perfect. He 
was almost a model prisoner. 



SAMPLE CASE , 

"The head of the institution called , 
to my attention tlic man's record— 
in pri.son, and did the right thing , 
in so doing. At first glance the man's 
record was impressive. He was a 
man trained so that he could have 
made good in the outside world— ' 
mayljc. 

"But — and thi.s is the most im- ' 
portant part of it all — the man was 
a killer. Now what makes me say 
that? He never did kill anyone, ' 
but he tried to kill three different 
people. He shot a man through 
the abdomen. He shot at another . 
and missed completely. He shot a 
third man through the ear. In 
the two cases where his bullets hit, 
the victim missed death by a frac- 
tiof. of an inch. Should the parole 
board turn loose that man and 
trust to luck (hat his bullets will 
always be an inch out of the way? 
Do you want your mother, father, 
sister or brother to be exposed to 
that man's bullets? 

"The parole board checked with 
some police ofTicials One said: 'That 
man will kill yet. He is a gunman. 
He always has had a gun with liim.' 
Another said: 'He is a po'.ential 
killer.' 

The public thinks is is being pro- 
tected from such criminals, but tiint 
protection will disappear in a minu6e 
if the parole hoard Is forced to yieW 
to the demands of pri.soners' friends 
and others who are interested for 
various rea.sons. 

"This particular prisoner was given 
18 years in New Jersey, but was vr- 
leased on parole in less than two 
years. He was released in 1930 and 
in 1932 sliot A man tlirough the 
stomach. Should that man now be 
paroled? 

AL( ATRA/ AS ANSWER 

"Parole boards have the benefit of 
the experience of parole boards all 
over the country. 'Vears of experi- 
ence lie behind every decision. 'We 
have learned that the worst crimi- 
nals make the best prisoners becau.se 
they know the ropes and want the 
time-off for good behavior. That is 
why we don't weigh the prisoner's 
prison record too heavily, but we do 
count the mans record out.side very 
heavily. 

"If a man has been guilty of break- 
ing and entering, of armed robbery, 
of shooting a cotiple of men (but not 
fatally I we don't believe in parole 
for that man too quickly. 

"This state needs an Alcatraz, con- 
ducted .scientifically. Such a pri.son 
affords maximum .security; a mini- 
mum of privcleges; complete isola- 
tion of the convicts; and 100 per 
cent, humanity. No man is .sentenced 



there— nor should he be. But if we 
had .such a prison, and prisoners 
knew that transfer to that institu- 
tion would be the penalty for trying 
to smuggle dope, for trying to make 
a delivery, or for other serious 
breach of the rules, the so-called im- 
rest among prisoners would be quieted 
quickly. 

"We'll have unre.'t in institu- 
tions as long as well-meaning but 
misinformed persons go to the 
prisons and by fanning up the 
flames of discontent, stir up trou- 
ble. 

"We have enough people think- 
ing about the prisoners. We have 
too few people thinking about the 
community at large. There are 
about 1000 prisoners who are bad. 
There are several million good cit- 
izens in this state and it is there 
good people who deserve consid- 
eration. 

Gavin was asked about the Gc-v- 
ernors council and whether he bi- 
iievcd that any of the members ha»; 
started a drive against the parole 
board because the board had not 
granted favors to llie councillors 
He said: "If the coiniril grants 
hearinijs to every one el.se I as- 
sume thai the parole hoard will lie 
given a cliance to stale its position 
to tlie council in prhlir meeting. 
That would he in accord with usual 
principles. .'\t that time I will say 
whatever I may have to say about 
other aspects of the situation."
